Staff in China view the most porn at work
Staff in China might be clocking in long hours at the office, but looks like not a lot of actual work is being done during that time.
According to a research by Blue Coat Systems, Inc., employees in China hold the world record for watching the most porn on their work devices.
Polling 1580 respondents across 11 countries, the study found 19% of employees in the country admitted that they viewed adult content sites on a work device.
Mexico followed at 10%, just slightly above employees in UK (9%).
Australia and Germany rounded up the top five.

“Pornography continues to be one of the most popular methods of hiding malware or malicious content,” the report stated.
“Even though awareness is high of the threat posed by adult content sites, workers are still visiting these potentially dangerous sites.”
Indeed, the research highlighted that despite 65% of respondents globally knowing that using new applications without the IT department’s consent is a serious cyber-security risk, 26% still continue to do so.
Singapore was found to be the highest offender in this area (37%), followed by the UK at 33%.
India and Mexico were tied at third place at 30%.
