I recently charged my work laptop using a power cable from a monitor. This monitor was originally intended for my laptop, but I've been using it as a second screen for personal stuff after remote work ended. I had some private content displayed on the second monitor while my laptop was charging. When my laptop went to sleep, the second monitor went dark too. Should I be worried that my employer can see what I was viewing? I only connected the power cord from the monitor, not any video cables like HDMI or DisplayPort.

Don't sweat it! They won't know about your 'discreet material' as long as you didn't use your work laptop to view it. If it was just the power cable you're in the clear.
Thanks for the reassurance! I’ll definitely stick to the wall plug next time just to be safe!
