Shreddy McShredface
Heard of a case where a FTSE listed company failed an audit, because someone found down the back of a desk recently vacated a mobile phone hooked up with a USB-LAN adaptor and wall charger set up as a hotspot. Turns out the previous occupier had been using it so the "Secure" company network could connect to their big screen laptop which had non working LAN and contained a wireless card from last century that only supported WPA. Yes, WPA. At least it was MAC locked.
They could have just made it disappear but they chose to face the music and pay up rather than facing more problems later, recall the fine being six figures.
The laptop did eventually get found, audited, forensically analyzed and then destroyed, just in case.
FFS (facepalm)
