We live in a BYOD world. They probably mix work on business and personal machines.

  I just assumed that people are installing said plugin on their machines as a prank when they walk away from the machine and leave it unlocked.

  > We live in a BYOD world. This is true for phones, where it wasn't before. But for computers? The only company I've worked for where I brought my own computer had a total of three employees.

    Six or seven years ago, I was getting sick of Windows and wanted to switch to Mac – but the corporate standard was a Dell laptop, you had to go through a special exception process to get a Mac, and my manager told me he'd been trying for a bunch of his reports and had been struggling to get the exceptions approved – so I just bit the bullet, bought one out of my own pocket and used it as my main work machine. And this wasn't some little three people shop. This was Oracle.

    Having done incident response for many companies which allow byod for laptops, I can attest that this was already common before the pandemic and the trend has only accelerated. One particularly fun outbrief included the head of their desktop support org talking about how much better their satisfaction scores were with the users when they were allowed to use laptops they had personally chosen. Chose metrics that align with your goals or reap the outcomes.

    From personal experience at Microsoft, it's pretty common for laptops these days.
