How did my company found out that I shared confidential information online?
I mistakenly shared configuration file of sth of my company in stackoverflow/reddit. My company found out immediately and fired me. How did they find out? Was it by looking at stackoverflow/reddit? I put them on pastebin and shared. AFAIK, pastebin isn't indexed by google. So,how would they know it? I'm really curious about the infrastructure in companies to figure these stuffs.

- r2_pilot 3y agoHave you considered the company may have monitoring software on the work computer? Logged access? Network traffic monitoring would let them know you went to pastebin and then it could correlate with your post time. There are lots of ways this could happen, which is why it's important to be professional with work equipment at all times.
- shivajikobardan 3y agoi mean are they just tracking if their employees went to pastebin? i don't get how they figured it out.
