>>899098good question, a lot of this would depend on the remote access software you are using and what access your work has to your work computer. The Indian scammers use remote access software which allows them to have unfettered access to everything on the computer they are connected to, this is generally the software you want to stay away from. It is possible your work has unfettered access to your lappy toppy.
"A VPN redirects your internet traffic, disguising where your computer, phone or other device is when it makes contact with websites. It also encrypts information you send across the internet, making it unreadable to anyone who intercepts your traffic. That includes your internet service provider." Your work obviously probably knowns where you are/doesnt care, but A VPN could also encrypt your data, making it so only some people can see what it actually is, the issue with this is if you can see the un-encrypted information it could be that someone with unfettered access to your computer could also see the un-encrypted information.
In conclusion, they could have total access to your computer, depending on the software you use, and the access they have to your work computer.
A VPN may help to encrypt your information, but if you can read the un-encrypted information its possible they could as well.
The remote work software would have to be quite malicious to be sending what is outside the window, but if you wanted to be 100% safe you could always be a burning laptop cheap esp. if all its doing is using remote softwares, or you could stay safe using a VM, virtual machine, with which you run the remote software inside of. A VM is a softwares which emulates a computer much like you emulate the Nintendo WII emulates NES and SNES hardware.
