There's several parts to the story. The first part is compliance to HR policy. I'm not here to defend either the policy or the breach.<p>The interesting parts to me are twofold:<p>Firstly, the sharing of how to hide your location from your employer, the normalising of "this is how you nomad on the sly" it's a subculture all of its own I didn't think about but now, clearly "needs to exist" under demand from the sly nomad community.<p>Secondly the ways MFA leaks info, which I found extremely surprising. But then, ops checking on you is now increasingly normal: work mate got called for "excessive SSH outbound" which made him very angry: it's his normal day to day working pattern. His laptop snitched on him after an upgrade, and his prior pattern not being logged raised a flag. So, the new MFA told a tale. And, the community says "yea this is how to ensure the MFA device only says what you want it to say"<p>This is all a bit silly. The war on WFH includes a war on digital nomads. Hiding your location is also a bit meh. What if something crops up which rationally needs your real presence at work?
