But as I said, if this is just a one time deal, then you have nothing to worry about. The problem is when a questionable site gets hit repeated over a short time span or there's a history of attempted access. That's when you should worry. This was an issue when I was working at some Federal agencies. People were freaking out when they inadvertently typed in white house . com (done on purpose to make sure no hot linking possible) when they meant whitehouse.gov. I'm amazed the people who set up the .com variant were ever allowed that domain registration and especially for the purposes they end up using that domain for.

The whitehouse dot com thing though seems easy enough to talk one's way out of... With this thing, well, a typo would be hard to believe. So pissed that iOS lauches like that. The good news is everyone with limited data plans on their smartphones uses the same guest network WiFi, so this must have happened before where someone pulls out their phone on a Monday morning and maybe Sunday night they were surfing naughty stuff at home. Out of extreme paranoia I'm not bringing the iPad to work for a while, seems like I'm more productive without it there anyways. I mean, if they really have a detailed log they could look up the device and probably see it pointing to my facebook and email accounts, figure out who owns it, etc... just hoping that when/if the activity gets flagged that they don't start digging like Agent Smith. I'm guessing they run a weekly or monthly traffic report on the guest network, but in my defense it's not their device and the network is 100% unsecured, they just block the content they don't allow. In a way, by blocking they kinda prevent people from looking at inappropriate content, but I can see how if a device keeps knocking on the same locked door they might launch an investigation or something. Now if this was on my workstation or a company laptop on the secured network chances are I'd already be canned, or questioned. Not sure how these things go down because I've never been on either side of it. One thing is certain, this has never happened to me before and it definitely never will again. I just hate feeling paranoid about it, lesson learned... thanks again- you've eased my mind as much as probably anyone can, from here I'll just need time.
