Comment on Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: Microsoft 365 Now Tracks You in Real-Time
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 days agoYou don’t know how Cisco is triangulating your laptop’s position from APs in range, do ya? It’s 2015 tech, and it’s insane.
Being able to see where everyone’s cell phone is in the middle of an open-air concert … and whether and where it has been on the muni network since … has been valuable for cops looking to question a potential witness.
But yeah, if you’re reading this in the company loo, your IT people probably know, if they cared. They don’t care.
Hell, knowing when the boss’s phone lights up on the site wifi was great for ambushing him with a purc req first-thing. …or so I hear.
TL;DR: they don’t need to know which IP range you’re on, as their layer-1 has already ratted you out.

my direct boss has showed me what access he has to wireless client information, which includes client position. At first I thought this was really weird, even though I was paranoid enough to know that an SSID can track you in the general vicinity through roaming. But exact location is just so weird.
