Post Can your colleague hijack your Corporate laptop?
Hi,
Yesterday (Saturday 26-07-08) I was looking for some information on my Corporate laptop when I discover this following set of folders:
+ DATA (D)
+ PROFILES
+ My colleague username
+.My Documents
+ Dimension2
These folders (+ My colleague username +.My Documents + Dimension2) “modify” date are 16 of July 2008 at 15:28.
Coincidences, this colleague left our company on the 18 of July 2008.
I instigate a research on every changes made on 16-07-08 and realise that all my Music on my Private folder have the stamp “modify” 16-07-08 at 15:28.
However, I have the original CDs in case of viruses.
On the other hand, my Electricity bill Document with full details (Name, Address, etc) on it (as I paying my electricity/Gas bill on line) has the same stamp “modify” 16-07-08 at 15:28. I’m worrying about ID Theft as this is serious business in England in fact.
Before, alarming my others colleagues or the HR, please can some one helping me see through this situation? I kept some screenshots and details on the incident-if incident.
Best regards.

I'm sorry but since this is a corporate laptop and there is some question of an ex-employee's conduct, we shouldn't be working on it. I suggest you go to your HR and/or IT Departments and report your findings and let them advise and handle the situation. This probably needs a more hands-on approach, in any event.

Good luck.
