Extension summary

The Proctor360 extension is used in conjunction with our online remote proctoring service. Organizations can take advantage of the extension to remotely enter passwords into fields and/or use its browser tracking and lockdown features.

Proctors have the capability to enter passwords remotely using the extension. This allows test passwords to remain secure while enabling the candidate to take their exam. There is no need for a proctor to take control of a test candidate's computer, allowing them to maintain control of their system.

In some implementations, exam tracking and browser lockdown features may be enabled with or without remote password entry. This allows Proctor360's proctoring service to track if a test candidate is performing actions that are considered violations during a test session. All violations can and are expected to be reviewed for a final validation.

This extension is only active when an exam session is considered In Progress.

**The Catastrophic Experience of Using a Lockdown Browser: A Cautionary Tale** In today's digital age, where online education has become the norm, lockdown browsers have emerged as a tool to ensure academic integrity during online exams. However, my experience with a lockdown browser has been nothing short of a nightmare. What was supposed to be a simple tool for securing an exam turned into a catastrophic ordeal that had far-reaching consequences for my personal and professional life. **Invasion of Privacy and Data Theft** From the moment I installed the lockdown browser, I had an unsettling feeling about the permissions it required. The browser demanded access to my webcam, microphone, and even my system's files. While I understood that these measures were intended to prevent cheating, I couldn't shake the feeling that my privacy was being grossly violated. My concerns were soon validated when I started noticing strange activity on my computer. Files I had never seen before appeared in my directories, and personal documents seemed to have been accessed without my permission. It wasn't long before I realized that my sensitive data had been stolen. My financial information, passwords, and even personal photos were compromised. The lockdown browser, which I had trusted to maintain academic integrity, had become a tool for data thieves. The stress and anxiety of knowing that my private information was in the hands of criminals were overwhelming, and it was only the beginning of my troubles. **Malware and Viruses: A Tech Nightmare** As if the invasion of my privacy wasn't enough, the lockdown browser also brought with it a slew of malware and viruses. My once reliable computer, which had never encountered serious issues before, was suddenly plagued with pop-ups, system crashes, and unexplained slowdowns. Antivirus software that had protected my system for years was rendered useless as the lockdown browser's malicious payload wreaked havoc. The malware not only corrupted my files but also infected other devices connected to my network. My entire household was affected as laptops, tablets, and even smartphones started exhibiting the same symptoms. The lockdown browser had effectively turned my home into a digital quarantine zone, and there was little I could do to stop the spread of the infection. **Professional Repercussions: Losing My Job** The fallout from using the lockdown browser extended beyond my personal life and seeped into my professional career. As a remote worker, my computer is my lifeline, and the malware infestation severely disrupted my ability to perform my duties. Deadlines were missed, important meetings were postponed, and my productivity plummeted. Despite my best efforts to explain the situation to my employer, the damage was done. In a competitive job market, there is little room for error, and my declining performance was noted by my superiors. Eventually, I was called into a virtual meeting where I was informed that my services were no longer needed. Losing my job was a devastating blow, and the knowledge that it was directly caused by the lockdown browser only added insult to injury. **The Final Verdict: A Tool of Destruction** The lockdown browser, which is marketed as a tool to ensure fairness and integrity in online exams, turned out to be a tool of destruction. It stole my data, infected my computer with malware, and ultimately cost me my job. The experience has left me with a deep sense of distrust toward any software that demands such invasive permissions. I urge anyone considering the use of a lockdown browser to think twice before installing it on their system. The potential risks far outweigh any benefits, and the consequences can be devastating. My story is a cautionary tale of what can happen when we place blind trust in technology without fully understanding the dangers it may pose. Don't let the same thing happen to you—protect your privacy, your computer, and your career
