Hi
I apologize if this is the wrong place to put this thread and if there is a better place for it to be then please (mods) move it to the best place for the most answers.
I have run into an issue with my work computer and might get fired. I need advise and information from anybody that is able to give it to me.
I have been accused of illegally downloading movies and saving them on my work computer. I have never downloaded a movie in my life and wouldn't know where to start. I'm not very tech savvy.
I need to defend myself and explain how the files could have gotten there but I have been specifically instructed that I am not allowed legal advise. I don't have access to the files, have not been given any information on them, other than a screenshot showing them in my document folder.
The computer is encrypted but other people do have access to it when I'm in work. My husband says that it might be possible that if somebody was charging a cell phone or transferring files from a usb stick to an SDS while I was logged it that it could be possible that something is left behind. Is this true? He also says that It might be possible that it could have been an accidental file transfer while charging a phone. He said something about "autosync" He doesn't know what he is talking about either but he knows more than I do
Are their any other ways files could end up on an encrypted computer that others have occasional access to?
I'm grasping at straws and don't know what I'm talking about or how this happened. I'm just looking for direction so I can give possible ways this may have happened without my knowing.
