Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

I just learned about an entire product category called "mouse jigglers."

I noticed this. Both chatgpt and LinkedIn sometimes redirect to CEC. Back button takes me to place I was previous.

VpN is not a job title, look it up.

What are posts with names and job titles still surviving on this site????? Thought they had a policy for not allowing it

I may stream music from YouTube for hours a day in the background to help me focus. That doesn’t mean I’m wasting any time at all on youtube. If I am waiting for code to compile, I may do something else in parallel (emails, teamspace messages, bug scrub or whatever) or I may just browse the news (or linked in, stocks, FB, whatever) while waiting bc I am literally not capable of dividing up my time or focus on anything else anymore or my brain will crash from too much multitasking. So if I do something mindless while waiting for some result, it doesn’t mean I’m wasting time. The technology we created allows us to do this and it’s made us so unbelievably productive compared to the past that our brains need breaks or more accurately it needs limitations on multitasking.

Cisco logs and see everything you do. Every url, every chat. Everything you install, download and are running on your laptop. Everything. Disk storage is cheap.

Yes, we are encouraged to write stuff for LinkedIn.
Code42 is what you should be worried about.

I just logged into LinkedIn to ignore a connection request from someone with no profile info other than their name and a photo of a cute, young lady. The login box had my personal email address, probably from the link in the email that LinkedIn sent me.

Did you perchance use your Cisco email address for your LinkedIn account when you created your profile?

I've never seen Duo try to interfere with any non-Cisco sites except for Microsoft, SharePoint, and other third-party services that are using URLs like cisco..com.

There's no need to use Duo MFA logins to "spy" and track your web history, especially if you're on the VPN! All web traffic leaving the Cisco network is logged, and certain sites are redirected to a sinkhole or whatever it's called and you get a warning about the site certificate not matching. Or you get a page that specifically says access to that site is blocked and to open a case if you have a business need to access it.

I'd be more concerned about Code42's "spying". Look at their home page:

Enterprise Data Protection for Insider Threats

“The big differentiator with Incydr™ – it gains insight into risky behavior and uses that information to educate users or address that risk before it turns into a data breach. There is no technology like Incydr that I've experienced.”

Why would Cisco care if you're logging into LinkedIn? Many people post articles or comments on LinkedIn or take advantage of LinkedIn Premium training courses. It's not just for looking for a job.

If you think it's an activity you don't want Cisco to know about, then why are you doing it from your Cisco laptop while on a VPN connection to Cisco's internal network? At least, log off the VPN first.

that’s only for people under hr and legal investigation for alleged leaking

Even chatgpt as well.cisco duo pops up when we login into chatgpt
