Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Warning company emails watermarked

HR person told me that IT is working with them and a consultant to digitally watermark broad email communications like layoff announcements, site closures, and other sensitive topics. A sequence number is encoded by a mailer addin using white space variation added to the email text. This means simple text cut and paste can be tracked. Be careful when posting.

anonymize by replacing doubled white space characters, removing unneeded punctuation like single quotes and apostrophes, only post the core idea.

Raw text file IS NOT safe. Whole point of post was to warn that text itself is watermarked. Especially targets this site. Picture might work but hard to post and it is easy to forget the metadata in the jpg.

Look for ence or encase forensics on your computer. Also look for crowdstrike (falcon). Both are TSRS on your computer that monitors 5raffic. There are numerous ways to get around these robot modes. I wrote this the same way

  • and everything being tracked includes email from outside of Honeywell. Even though you might not ‘be able to control’ that, be careful with what you can.

Even printing an email is traceable through the printer, since you have to use your ID. Mgt has just become more paranoid (they were already over the top) about leaks of information and "disloyal" employees. At Aero, MM will be all over that. Gotta prop up his reputation.

OP: -yyg is correct. If you even perform the simple act of a copy command for sensitive info on a company device the technology is there to give an alert. Everything can be tracked and you are not anonymous.
