Mouse Jiggler: What It Is and Can Companies Detect Its Use?
A mouse jiggler is a device that simulates mouse movement to prevent computers from sleeping or to appear active, often used by remote workers. There are hardware and software types, but companies can detect their use through advanced monitoring tools, as demonstrated by a case at Wells Fargo. While useful for maintaining activity status, mouse jigglers do not replace actual work and can be detected by employers.
