Need help from getbig computer experts

[Mclovin]

Ok, so I need help from someone who knows about this kind of stuff. I was on my work phone and went to a forum that had a link to a porn site on it. Now obviously I didn't click on it and normally wouldn't think twice about it....but I was just reading an article about how a lot of browsers will now preload or prefetch links that they think you may click on next...I guess in order to speed up the page load.  Anyway, I know my company can monitor the sites I visit on the phone so now I'm paranoid that that porn site will show up in the access logs. I knew someone who got fired for looking at porn on their work phone so I've kinda got OCD about it. I was using the standard Android browser if that helps. So am I f*cked or am I ok?

As long as you didn't click on the link, you're fine. Just because a link sits within a forum does not mean that your browser will register as having visited said link. You didn't click on it, so it shouldn't show up in the access logs.

Even if you would have clicked on the link, you could argue that you did not know what was at the other end once clicked.

Like 1MR said, you should be fine...

You are fine, everybody would be getting sacked if you worst fears were reality.

It's been my experience that nobody monitors access logs in a company of any size.  They don't have the bandwith.

OK thanks. So do you know what they're talking about when they refer to browsers prefetching data?

Yeah I would agree.. U shouldn't worry. But I would stay off those sites from now on
