“Simulation of keyboard activity” leads to firing of Wells Fargo employees | With worker surveillance on the rise, vendors sell devices to fake keyboard and mouse movement.


With worker surveillance on the rise, vendors sell devices to fake keyboard and mouse movement.

Last month, Wells Fargo terminated over a dozen bank employees following an investigation into claims of faking work activity on their computers, according to a Bloomberg report. It's worth noting that the Bloomberg report says the FINRA filing does not specify whether the fired Wells Fargo employees were simulating activity at home or in an office. The financial sector was among the first to call for a return to office work as the pandemic waned, with Wells Fargo adopting a " hybrid flexible model" in February 2022.
