Private devices in general. I’ve seen people logged into their social media on company laptops as if the incognito window matters lol.

My old boss logged onto her private investment bank account on the work computers/network and bought and sold stock, for example. God knows what else she did. She got fired for using the company card for private purchases. Good fucking riddance. :D
