I have an iPhone 7 Plus
. I connect to the corporate Exchange Server (via Outlook 365) using the plain Exchange account settings (under Passwords & Accounts).
In other words, I have not installed any VPN software or anything like that. My phone is about as basic as can be.
I connect to the Exchange server using a username and password with a URL of outlook.office365.com
. Nothing else.
I've been told by corporate that they have the ability to remotely wipe my phone. I don't see how but I'm not an expert. When I log into the web portal of Outlook and go to Mobile Devices, I also see an icon that says it can wipe my phone.
My concern is that this is a personal phone that I pay myself and some rookie IT admin could accidentally wipe my phone. Which is a major invasion of privacy. I connect to my corporate email account (at their request) using this "generic" connection.
So my question is, can they really wipe my phone if they chose to? I've asked for verification on this but I cannot seem to get a real answer from them.
Thanks
