Funny as they resell those very services...

The Company I am working for has as one of its phone numbers a PERSONAL Skype account. I didn't know about it until a day or two ago. The end user didn't know about or didn't bother to inform us about the fact that Skype is being discontinued. We have a full M365 tenancy here with most users...

Could literally be anything. Plex servers, honeypots, POS terminals.

IS there any antivirus app on the phone? Perhaps install one and scan it.

That's what you wish...

Nonsense. Most viruses are designed to exploit unpatched systems. If you are worried about USB viruses. (Very rare nowadays) then you have to patch the OS. Most AV programs are updated via the internet. So I don't understand how you will really be able to protect it. Personally I'd worry...

Why aren’t you using DP to USB C cables?

Interesting. Care to elaborate on that?

Not really. Every BIOS is different. Every manufacturer is different. I’m been doing this for 35 years. Never seen a BIOS based virus. Most people are not running the latest BIOS so updating it is of benefit anyway.

And the nuke is a one pass zero overwrite.

Nuke and pave. I don’t bother trying to diagnose and repair anymore. If I really think the system is compromised then it gets sanitized by fire. Back up the data, Scan it on another PC, nuke the system, flash latest BIOS, erase the TPM and reinstall everything.

I suspect that Rufus will be able to disable that watermark.

I'm in Texas, which means you don't have your VPN on.

Yes

So if you have a drive that is backed up, is there real benefits to a complete read/write back of every sector of an SSD? Assuming that the drive is otherwise healthy that would be faster than an image, secure erase, restore. Wouldn’t?

No need with M365.

What Anti virus is installed? Is the proxy settings blank? Using any VPN software? This sounds like some kind of proxy that has broken.

Agreed. Good old fashioned virus. Don't see real ones very much anymore.

And I may have spoke too soon. As with anything this depends on what state you live in.
