You have to be paranoid. It is a requirement where I work. I don’t go 10 feet down the floor to talk to someone without locking my computers..ok I’m not usually that pushed about my Mac, but I will be now.
Aside from it being common sense not to leave an account with any access rights available, nevermind an account with lots of rights. Its far more a case of I don’t trust any of the fuckers with my email and buddy list available. Usually its just a case of some dirty messages being sent to someone or a few choice words being sent. It can get interesting if say it is done with someone you have an interesting relationship with…ie you like them a lot or you can’t stand them.
So I always always always lock my Windows machine. I will always be locking my Mac after todays events.
Dave’s Mac is now pink and in Dutch and John’s is now set to Chinese
Personally I find this quite funny and I look forward to seeing the reactions when they reboot and notice the changes.
You see every once in a while, it’s not paranoia, they really are out to get you. The bastards.
