At the company where I work in an IT role, we have notifications set up to send if anyone pings our gateway or anything from 192.168.1.1-5, for that matter. Anyway, I get a notification that user at x machine is pinging several of our LAN internal numbers. I immediately pick up the phone and dial the user. I'll leave the conversation below. I think it's very odd. How do you handle the situation from a security standpoint and/or managerial standpoint?
Do you need help with something?
I was trying to pull up the home…the ugh… our website. I typed in 192.168.1.1 and it started spinning on me so I typed in point 1 then point 2 and then 3 then 4 then 5
What did you need to do?
I was just pulling up the main service...our website… was going to our sales/support link to see what we had listed.
You went to our website by IP address?
I always type it in to go to our home website.
It looks like you are looking at basic router settings at the same time, in a browser (at this point I’m screenconnected into their PC for security reasons, we both can see what they have pulled up)
Im trying to find out how to find “home settings”. I’m just trying to figure out… I gotta do something different at home. I gotta change up my settings and stuff. I’ll give you a buzz when I get to that point.
Let me know if you need any help...click.
