Yeah, that’s exactly it. It doesn’t seem bad. It just seems out of place based on the price point and clientele.

It is when they work in intelligence and someone can find out and kidnap or kill their family to threaten them.

Yeah, but normally the MDM is used to prevent security breaches. Not create them.

You’re missing the point. This app is written by outside, for-profit companies who don’t care about data security. And the app is so full of security holes that it means work email and work chat may be skimmed by people outside the organization.

This isn’t a case of “don’t use your work phone for personal stuff.”

This is a case of e.g. “foreign criminal organizations can potentially steal American Social Security databases.”

The problem is that it’s at the office in the first place.

It creates a massive hole in IT security and allows attack vectors to get into government networks and files.

It’s like driving your brand new car into a busy part of town, leaving the keys in the ignition, leaving the door open, and stepping away for hours. And then doing it again the next day, and the day after that, even after each car has been stolen.

I might consider agreeing with you, except the app is full of third-party spyware and for-profit tracking software that’s operated by foreign companies.

Counterpoint: no, it’s not, because I’m not stupid enough to install it.
