Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.
TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.
That’s insane and should not be possible
Employer email, employer network, etc.
Possible and legal, just a fuckin’ scumbag thing to do. Real creepy when he jumps in on an email to reply to something you sent to someone else.
No, if he’s not in IT it should not be possible - I don’t know what email system you’re using but this person should not have the access you’re saying they do.
I’m not saying it shouldn’t be technically possible (I’m a sysadmin, I know what’s possible in a corporate environment), I’m saying your organization should not make it possible.
If he’s in some leadership position I’d be looking for other employment and/or reporting that person to your corporate compliance officer if you have one.
