If you have high-value info to protect, you are somewhat exposed if other people in your house are sloppy with security.
Household shared threat models include:
- they download a trojan, it infects your shared printer, and copies all your documents to the bad guys
- their phone is compromised and its microphone listens to your conversations and keystrokes.
These are attacks against high-value targets. If you're just surfing Reddit, you probably don't care. But if you work for a tech company and have customer data or cloud logins on your machine, you should probably care.
- morpheuskafka 5y agoWouldn't most of these issues be addressed by the company managing their own work-issued laptop, presumably with an always-on VPN and full disk encryption? Same for work phones. Customer data and production cloud credentials should never be on a personal machine, period. Printer could be an issue, I guess, but most tech jobs don't involve a lot of printing and if they do a USB only printer should be supplied by the company.
