I read somewhere quite recently (sorry, don't have ref. right now) that its a bit of a large team effort (several to many engineers working together) to ensure getting the job, and then a continued team effort (again several to many engineers) to ensure continued high performance at said job...in order to be able to persist the operations. Quite clever as i understand, though brutal for participants i also imagine.


Merely bypassing the companies protections will be quite a lot of work.

The new Microsoft authenticator app checks if the phone is rooted and checks for valid GPS and VPN connections before it'll allow access for example.


I guess I'll have to ask for a phone along with a laptop from any potential employer that requires this app. (I wonder if MS Authenticator would even run on my de-Googled Android.) I'd much prefer to keep work equipment separate from personal equipment anyways.


Wait, so if GPS is disabled, I cannot use their authentication app? How dare I presume to pretend to have any privacy.


Depends on the setting of the company in question. By default, it's not required.
