CHEEKY Brits are spending almost 100 hours a year watching porn during work hours, a shock survey has revealed.

And worse still, they’re using their work laptops and mobiles to fulfil their naughty needs.

The rise of working from home has made it easy for randy workers to slip off.

But that’s not stopped employers from catching them out.

Almost a quarter of people admitted to using company devices to watch porn.

They clocked up a massive 97 hours across the year, which works out little under two hours a week.

Blokes were found to be up to no good more than women, with 140 working hours versus 68 hours.

And American employees across the pond are at it too, according to an ExpressVPN poll of 2,000 people from both sides of the Atlantic.

Overall, eight in ten said they were caught visiting porn sites – though it’s not entirely clear how their bosses found out.

Many received a verbal warning or training.

But 17 per cent were also fired as a result of their mischievous behaviour.

Porn isn’t the only thing workers are distracting themselves with.

The vast majority admitted to wasting time with personal emails, reading the news or online shopping.

“It’s concerning how much time Brits are spending on personal activities during working hours, especially as they are using their work devices for these tasks,” said Lauren Hendry Parsons, Privacy Advocate, ExpressVPN.

“This isn’t just about productivity, it can adversely affect your company’s privacy and security risk levels.

“Short of locking down internet access on all work devices or resorting to unwelcome, demoralizing surveillance, it’s unrealistic to stop employees from using work devices for personal activities.

“Instead, business leaders need to ensure they are equipping employees with a solid security education, helping them to understand the risks they would be introducing and how to avoid things like phishing attacks.

“Employees must understand that their usage of company devices will be visible in some capacity to the company, so it’s certainly worth thinking twice before spending a little personal time with a work device.”
