It's not just work hardware. It's everything connected to your WiFi; everything. For Amazon, this means exploiting known security vulnerabilities in Microsoft, Google, and Apple to spy on employees, largely without their knowledge or consent. Further, there is no internal regulation for people who are executing these attacks. Individuals can access the personal data of their fellow employees at anytime, including managers.

Were these vulnerabilities repeatedly exploited by companies such as Amazon? Yes.

On personal, non-work devices? Yes.

Is this a gross (and federally illegal) misstep by Amazon, JPMorgan, and similar companies? Yes.
