I'm wondering about the implications of using my personal phone as a hotspot for my work computer. Specifically, can my employer see my browsing history from my personal phone during this time? Also, if my iPhone has a virus, could it transfer to my work laptop through the hotspot? Just trying to clarify this, thanks!

No, your employer can't see what's on your personal phone. They might see what you do on the work computer, but your phone's browsing history is off-limits.
Not a dumb question at all! While they can't directly monitor your phone activity, if you have a serious virus, there could be potential risks through a USB connection, but that's pretty unlikely. Just play it safe and ensure your devices are clean!
Exactly! But just keep in mind, your browsing on the work laptop is still visible to your employer.
