Huh, I wondered how they detected it but it reads like most were via software.
I had a test computer that needed to stay awake for 6 hours but IT wouldn’t allow me to turn off screensaver/lock after 10 mins of inactivity. So we agreed to putting it in a room locked by badge access and using something to trigger the mouse. I got an analog clock with a second hand, taped a piece of paper to the second hand, laid it on its back, and put the optical mouse on top of it so the mouse would see the flag every 60s and stay on.
I wonder if Wells Fargo uses keystroke and mouse movement monitoring to detect that sort of thing. I expect it would be easy to design.
Wild that Wells Fargo would issue computers that would allow people to install anything on them.
That’s a very common thing. I don’t know a single company or organization that prevents executables from running. You don’t have to install programs to use them, it’s just that most software ships installers

Also, lol at the whole thing.

I’ve seen it done, can be a PITA to manage but worth it for the lack of stupid shit from custies IMO.
The software probably doesn’t need to actually be installed.
