- gsich 5y agoThere is plausible deniability. Just say my touchpad is malfuncioning and sometimes moves the cursor.
- floatingatoll 5y agoIn other words, you didn't report a touchpad malfunction that was interfering with obvious and clearly stated security policies, and allowed the malfunction to interfere with your work for days/weeks/months without seeking assistance from IT? This is not a good look, but if that's how you want to play the game of lying to your employer, fine with me!
- gsich 5y agoNo, because the touchpad malfunctioning has no impact on a security policy whatsoever. Not even work possibly. If you want to lock your PC you need to lock it.
- not1ofU 5y agoAs I mentioned above, the SOC team can detect the exact process ID for these app really easily. No plausible deniability.
- CameronNemo 5y agoWhat do you mean by process ID? A PID seems like a useless bit of information. Now an app bundle or process executable checksum... Seems more useful. But couldn't you build the app from source and add a but of random data into the executable?

- benhurmarcel 5y agoYes it's better to have a hardware fix, like a USB stick that moves the cursor regularly or sends a key press, or even just put your mouse on top of a watch that has hands.
