A decent outcome here would be if Glassdoor revealed all employers that attempt to go after former employees with alerts like the current one on the Zuru page.
Glassdoors business model is selling the ability to take down bad reviews. Why would they out their customers?
The companies they'd be outing aren't valuable to glassdoor.

> If so, is this legal? If it’s a company provided laptop then it’s a good idea to assume that every keystroke, DNS request, and network packet is fair game. Laptops are cheap. There’s no reason to mix personal and corporate usage.
Surprisingly I was at a party in SF with a bunch of Apple employees. Somehow some topic came up and I was like "I don't do anything personal on my company laptop. I especially don't look at porn". All 6 of them said they used their company laptops and phones to look at porn all the time. Wow

> this is how yelp did it back in the day. Yelp no longer does this?
Yelp now just send oven a couple of large men with baseball bats who say “Nice business you got here. Would be a shame if something happened to it…” to cut out the foreplay.

If that were true, then it would seem their asking price is greater than the cost and risk of de-anonymizing and suing former employees.

This is an interesting question post-pandemic where the network the laptop is using may be an employees home network, especially if there is some kind of active scanning involved.
This is a real problem, especially for InfoSec tools. Many EDR tools, such as MS Defender for Endpoint (or whatever it’s called these days) and Crowdstrike Falcon, include functionality that will scan your local network for devices in order to discover unmanaged devices… It’s a nightmare from a privacy point, but its also a problem for the InfoSec tools… How do they distinguish between an unmanaged private device on…
Trivially, from the simplistic (check IPs and router MACs / SSID in use) to the marginally more advanced (deploy an agent that is only reachable from the corporate network) to determine if the tool should even be running in the first place.

Which countries don’t allow a company to monitor activity on company equipment and company networks during company time?
IIRC Danish law states that work email may be used for private purposes and that anything clearly labeled as private is to be considered such. For example, by moving email to a folder called “private”. For the employer to open/read such communication would be highly illegal, akin to opening others private snail mail. I do believe that this also extends to corporate issued phones and computers. Especially since you’re…

DNS records of your VPN or corporate work station would be pretty easy. You can line then up with when the review was posted. Then investigate their workstation more "thoroughly".
I run a Tor middle relay on one of the 8 IP addresses I have purchased as a block from a certain ISP that allows you to, I have been for around a year. The amount of traffic passing through it is heavy. Obviously, this comes with certain caveats (the middle relay's, or any TOR relay IPs are publicly available and published weekly on GitHub and as you can imagine, some places like to instant ban anything to do with TO…

I'm curious does it matter if its a previous employer? what could they possibly do?
I live in the US, where people and corporations are notoriously litigious and I’ve worked at some terrible places. For example, I once had a coworker that would openly crush up and snort various pills between calls while fundraising for one of the two main political parties. This was not an issue for management. I would never post [name of that employer] from any account that could possibly be attached to my name any…
Just curious, and I agree it's unprofessional. I can be quite judgemental, though.
In 2016 I left a very scathing, and very truthful, of my current employer on Glassdoor a couple of weeks before deciding to quit. Two weeks later, Glassdoor sends me an email notifying me that the employer is pursuing legal action and I have two options: 1) delete the review, or 2) stand by the review if it's true and, when it comes down to it, my identity may need to be revealed in court when necessary. That was my…
I figure at this point I will need to literally buy a burner phone with cash if I wanted to create some identity not connected to myself online.
