Does anyone know if it's possible for my employer to see what's in my inbox on my Yahoo email account? I know the company uses a proxy server and monitors internet usage. I know I can't see my inbox if I look at my temp internet files. Is the transmission beteen my browser and yahoo secure? Any tech savvy people know this?

Thanks,

Vince

The answer is yes. While you can choose to securely sign-in to Yahoo (not done by default), that only applies to your password. Everything else, regardless, is transmitted unencrypted, including everything you see in your web browser.

Now whether your employer has the software to actually record and monitor the content of your session, that's another thing. Most employers just filter on URLs, not the actual content. But the technology does exist to record just about anything.

Um, Big Brother is not always watching you.

That said, even if you are using an encrypted connection, there are ways to capture pretty much everything that happens on your computer, including remote screen capture, keystroke monitoring, etc.

Short answer: don't do anything on your work computer that you wouldn't do if your boss was staring at the screen over your shoulder.

I still agree with Syber! Though I doubt a regular employer could bi-pass some encryption programs I do know that people can get through one way or another.
