I sent several legitimate personal documents to my own email today and noticed something in my Mac Finder under “locations” I’ve never seen before.
Under iCloud Drive and OneDrive, there was a network icon titled “my first name” in all lowercase
Spooky
I deleted everything on my One Drive. When you leave Target (even just resign), your leader gets access to it. If your role isn’t essential then neither is your work.
@ag Whew. Thank you for that context.
@ac there has ALWAYS been a non-user account that has Owner permissions to your OneDrive docs. It requires special entitlements and an auditable check out process to log in with elevated permissions. Could that team possibly have seen your docs? Sure. Were they looking around at them on purpose? Probably not, they’re pretty decent humans over there. Source: me, who was on the O365 team in the semi-recent past.
Did anyone else have a “location has been turned off” pop up randomly appear on their computer this afternoon?
@a7 Fu-k. That’s what that additional owner is on my OneDrive folder. I just noticed this other “user” on Friday. Apparently they (“Office” team?) have been doing an audit for a couple weeks on OneDrive. Look up who has access to your OneDrive folders and search that user in Slack and you’ll see related messages/concerns. I had and just deleted a TON of VERY confidential personal information that I had saved in a folder that I thought only I had access to. I’m so upset.
@a7 As an alternative, you can upload your files to SharePoint and then access SharePoint on your mobile device to download them
@a5 I have picked up on this over the past handful of weeks as well. When granting access to OneDrive files I’ve created, I’ve noticed there has been an additional owner listed
@a4 great intel - I’m not signed into iCloud though! I never have done this on my work machine.
I noticed a new owner on all of my onedrive files in addition to me. Looking at slack apparently they were doing an audit within the last few weeks… anyone else have this?
First you're in violation of Target's IT and VPN Network terms if you use iCloud on a Mac OS. They look for those connections and will remind you if you have any activity going to your iCloud accounts. This happened to me 5 years ago when I realized that I was automatically signed into my iCloud account and received a "nice" note from IT reminding me that iCloud access from Target's systems was not allowed--cause they can't control it.
second, the network in all lowercase in your finder is your base User folder in Mac OS. the finder is finding it 'cause you're signed into iCloud. So no, Target did not set that up.
If you have a Mac at home for your personal device transfer any docs you need via airdrop right now, and don't send them to yourself. then LOG OUT OF iCloud as soon as your done.
I was laid off a few months ago and this was my workaround that was successful.
good luck
and sign out of iCloud!
@a1 I am getting a pop up to classify information when I sent to personal email id
I got a pop up window when sending emails to external asking whether the attachments have target non public info, or personal info etc.
wonder whether that means I’d be impacted and they monitor those closely?
yes, they monitor anything you print or send to your personal email.
