LaF0rgelT security 101: Don't leave your company laptop with authentication smart card inserted, applications open and without screensaver at your seat when using the lavatories on a train. Unbelivable...
die_christine@LaF0rge As I can see: It's a Lenovo with sensor for fingerprints. You can lock and unlock it within milliseconds.
CHB@die_christine @LaF0rge Yes, but the user of the computer didn’t do that. The screen is clearly indicating the computer is not locked.
@stadsplanering I can see that. I only wanted to point out that locking and unlocking is so easy. I can'*t understand that he didn't do it. @LaF0rge
tuxflo@die_christine @stadsplanering @LaF0rge probably not. If the previous commentors are right, then that the Laptop is a Sina Workstation that is running a custom "secure" OS.
Fingerprint is usually not supported on those. You are supposed to pull out the Smartcard which will lock the device automatically. In my opinion that is even easier than biometrics, but still doesn't help if the users don't do it.

@die_christine @stadsplanering @LaF0rge BTW since those devices are built for dealing with confidentiality material it could be even a violation of the german law to leave the laptop unlocked and unattended (if confidential material IS on the device)
@tuxflo @die_christine @LaF0rge I assume it is a violation just leaving it unlocked even if you do not handle confidential information on it at the moment. It is acting as a point of entry to the entire secure system it is connected to. 🤦♂️
And yes, just pulling the card out is so easy and locks it right away (had similar system on a work computer a while back).
They should also have those privacy filters installed just to limit the view of the screen.
