Most of the damage is done with good intentions.
Recently one of our devs was caught running Chrome portable (because he wasn’t given admin access), where he logged in to his personal google account and saved his company credentials, where they were promptly synced to his personal malware-infested home system and ended up in a paid dataset on the darknet. IT Security, InfoSec and Governance policies have to be written with this kind of employee behaviour in mind.
Incidentally him and his team had just complained loudly about MFA being required for our critical apps.
You only need to experience what some people manage to do to their machines with and without admin access to favour a return to the abacus for the general workforce.
And software developers are simultaneously the best and absolute worst users.
It’s not meant to scare people, it’s meant to impress unscrupulous clueless tech bros to generate hype for the IPO.


You so meta.
