NextImg:Wells Fargo fires employees for faking work with keyboard simulators

More than a dozen Wells Fargo employees were terminated last month after an internal investigation uncovered simulated keyboard activity that made it appear as if they were working.

The firings were disclosed in a filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, according to Bloomberg.

Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior,” the bank told multiple outlets in a statement.

Several of the terminated employees were in hybrid and remote positions in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to MarketWatch.

They used devices and software, also called mouse movers or jigglers, to simulate clicking, typing and other computer activity. This makes it appear that an employee whose computer usage is being monitored is working, even if he or she isn’t.
