I’ve made this kind of accident before. Within my first 6 months there was a massive internal investigation of someone entering the building without authorization, as they had made their own keycard.
I had been asked to analyze a machine’s event log to see what happened, and on a Teams meeting with a dozen people proceeded to right click the event log and mistakenly hit clear, unconsciously accepting the dialogue box.
That was embarrassing, but I was direct about it.
I always just pull the plug and image the disk since.
- eviks 3y agoOut of curiosity, were you also the one who made the keycard?
- MengerSponge 3y agoWhoopsie I'm such a klutz ;P Look, I didn't mean to do the espionage thingy, especially in public ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- francisofascii 3y agoHa, this comment reminds me of the Robert Hanssen, the infamous FBI spy. At one point he was put in charge of the internal effort to find "the spy".
- londons_explore 3y ago> right click the event log and mistakenly hit clear Had you immediately pulled the plug on the machine at that point, you would almost certainly have been able to recover the event log. Sure, it would have been many days effort, but probably better than failing to get evidence of a suspected evil do-er.
