Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.
TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.
Good to know, thank you for posting this. I’ll keep this is mind to avoid any issues.
And to everyone else wondering why you would use company computers to browse the Internet instead of just using your phone, some jobs out there do not allow you to do so. My employer for instance, has banned using phones everywhere except for the break rooms and offices. We can still have our phones on us for emergencies and take phone calls, but otherwise we are not allowed to have them our. If we have to take a phone call we have to exit the work area and move to a nearby break room to do so. We have been specifically told (in writing) to use the computers instead when there is nothing to do. We have even been told YouTube is fine as long as there is no work. Because of that, I do a ton of personal web browsing on company computers since my job is so feast or famine so having information like this is helpful.
