When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone
from Slashdot by kdawson

Xenographic writes “NPR has a story about someone whose personal iPhone got remotely wiped by their employer. It was actually a mistake, but it was something of a surprise because they didn’t believe they had given their employer any kind of access to do that. This may already be very familiar to Microsoft Exchange admins, but the problem was her iPhone’s integration with MS Exchange automatically gives the server admin access to do remote wipes. All you have to do is configure the phone to receive email from an MS Exchange server and the server admin can wipe your phone at will.

Clearly, you must maintain an “air gap” between your employer’s stuff and your personal stuff.
Never forget Job #1 is finding your next job.
