My ex-employer wants to wipe work laptop disk remotely - with it & network switched off


Recommended Posts

Good luck with that. The ISP modem is switched off - maybe there's a secret SIM card in the laptop 🙂 

 

I have left my job and out of the country so it's not physically possible to switch them on even if I wanted to. Maybe they'll use black magic or ESP?

And if you are so sure nothing can happen, what's your point of this post?

 

If it is a work laptop from your ex-employer, then you should give it back to them.

Which I will when I get back and copy all my personal stuff off first which they have not warned me before I left the country that I should do it.

Sorry posts have to have  a "point" now? Um, your point being? When I get back I will post the device to them.

Erm.. Well yep..    posts usually have a point...   of course, posts don't have to have a point, but then they seem just random as yours did.

They have you a laptop and then nicked it?

I have an iPad from my company that is very closely

administered. They  can wipe it anytime 

can and probably Brick it permanently !

If they control apple gear remotely they are using mosyle or one it's offshoots if your employer is a school. They can reset to factory specs but not brick the computer or iPad.
