Our cyber security team told people not to put stickers on the laptop as it can be used to spear phish the owner, can open to industrial espionage.

They even showed us this cheesy video showing.

1. A woman chatting up a developer based on their stickers on the laptop they saw earlier. 2. Someone targeting the laptop for theft because of the stickers.

People still do it, but I've only seen it on the junior people trying to express who they are.
