The US financial behemoth Wells Fargo fired several workers after it was alleged that workers were using keyboard emulation to trick the firm into believing they were in the office when they weren’t.

In the US, new regulations went into effect recently requiring home-based brokers to undergo inspections every three years.
“Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior,” a company spokesperson stated.
These services have the ability to record which websites are viewed, take screenshots, and monitor keystrokes and eye movements.
However, technology has also advanced to avoid surveillance. One example is the readily accessible “mouse jigglers,” which are designed to make computers look to be in use.
