Back in the 90's I worked in a Global US Bank offices in South America, they were rolling Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and with that a "Selected" group of users will have Internet Access. My job was to ensure that they agree with the Usage policy and install the TCP/IP stack for Novell (those were the days).
Of course the Internet came with Cache/Proxy and the infamous Border Manager part of the Netware suit for Internet ... Despite our warnings (well only to a selected group of friends, the rest were pedantic juniors exec types) they fall into the Venus' temptations.
To cut a long history short, we started to see a wave of sackings, including the walk with the security guards. The finings in some cases involved the police as well.
In a adjacent building they set a particular enforcer to monitor the Proxy logs, she was a weirdo that tagged her name on any piece of stationary, like a mixture between Theresa May and Lucretia Borgia. She seemed to enjoy her job, but like any reign of terror is always an abrupt ending: In her case apparently she took the job so seriously that launched a campaign against the C-Suite, she ended up doing the walk of shame.
