I heard on the rumor mill that the hackers took over Styker's MDM system and used it to wipe all of the devices on the company's network. This includes employees who installed Microsoft Intune on their personal phones.

And that's why you should never "bring your own device" to work. Make the company pay for a work phone or pager if they want to reach you outside of business hours.

Just don’t let the company install a profile that manages your device. Your phone isn’t going to magically delete everything because someone from work called you after hours.
