Another reason not to use M$ Exchange.
Nov. 22nd, 2010 10:05 pmApparently, by setting up your own personal i-phone or i-pad (and probably a bunch of other devices, but I don't know) to use a microsoft exchange server. Like say many corporate e-mail servers. You are unknowingly opening up your device to all sorts of remote control and monitoring.

She setup her personal I-phone to get e-mail from her employer's mail server. Company IT department sent a wipe instruction to her phone while she was traveling. Phone blanks out, not only all her e-mail, work and personal, but also messages, pictures, contacts, applications, tunes, and even the ability to make a phone call with her i-phone. Gone.
I'd be pretty annoyed if it happened to me.
Note to self.
New personal policy.
If an employer wants me to access anything work related via computer or phone while away from workplace. They can provide me with a company paid for access device. Work stuff, particularly Exchange server access, is never gonna touch my computer or phone ever again.
