Your boss is spying on you right now. What can you do about it?
From the moment you walk into work until the moment you leave, your boss or his minions may be spying on you.
Computerworld has noted before that surveillance cameras are becoming more common in the workplace ("Big Brother is watching you ... and he's a computer"). But what we are talking about here is the more insidious tracking of your digital footprints as you go about your computing workday. When you start thinking about all the ways that you can be digitally tracked, it can make even the least paranoid person sit up and take notice.
By now, most of us know that our Web browsing histories are stored on our own PCs, which comes in handy when we want to track down a cheating spouse or errant teenager, but is less useful when we are looking at, shall we say, recreational sites at the workplace. Granted, this history can be easily erased if someone knows the right command. But when you are connected to a corporate network, this information can easily be recorded by any number of network packet-capturing and forensic products that are typical these days.
