"This is a statewide consumer-finance abuse that forces renters to surrender payroll and bank logins or face homelessness,"
"Argyle hijacked my live Workday session, stayed hidden from view, and downloaded every pay stub plus all W-4s back to 2024, each PDF seconds apart,"
"Workday audit logs show dozens of 'Print' events from two IPs from a MAC which I do not use,"
"I am livid,"
Landlords and tenant-screening services are requiring prospective renters to log into employer HR systems and grant access to payroll and bank information for income verification. Some services, including ApproveShield and Argyle, scrape platforms like Workday and can download pay stubs and W-4s across multiple years. A renter reported the tool hijacked a live Workday session, downloaded numerous documents, and generated 'Print' events from unfamiliar IPs and a MAC address. Landlords sometimes demand 60 days of pay history. The practice creates broad privacy exposure, consumer-finance abuse risks, and potential legal issues under U.S. hacking laws.
