In any case, do not access anything with your IP.

I don’t know if you’re supposed to login and post your LWD. And this is a serious security risk. It may or may not backfire on you, since giving them information about this will surely only help them. But yeah, since you tried logging in to their infra, obviously they have the logs now.

Anyway, an IT team should be the way to go, and keep your manager in cc with your personal mail ID, along with an excuse about how you accidentally stumbled upon it via some cookie values or cache or something. Sessions were saved, and it got authenticated (chatgpt it).

Do the right thing. Inform HR, keep your old manager in CC. Don't use those tools.
