No I'm not posting this because he was a Mac tech. The PC type is irrelevant to the story, though I know a few of you guys that like to troll my post will say something.

Some people are such dirtbags and have zero class or a shred of dignity. :bang2: Yep, I'm talking about him and you trolls! :laugh2:

===========================================

IDG News Service - He was hired to fix their computers, but police say that Trevor Harwell instead installed spyware software that took candid photos of his clients in various states of undress.

Harwell had been a Macintosh specialist with a Los Angeles-area home computer repair company called Rezitech. That's how he allegedly had the opportunity to install the spy software, called Camcapture, on computers.

While working on repair assignments, the 20-year-old technician secretly set up a complex system that could notify him whenever it was ready to snap a shot using the computer's webcam, according to Sergeant Andrew Goodrich, a spokesman with the Fullerton Police Department in California. "It would let his server know that the victim's machine was on. The server would then notify his smartphone... and then the images were recorded on his home computer," he said.

No kidding. Why do something that is seriously illegal to see that type stuff when you've got unlimited freaking pr0n on the net for free already.

Some people are just way way way too freaking stupid.

Or better yet, why not just put that much effort into being a decent person? Then you might get a date with a real girl.

Harwell was formerly a student at Biola University, a small Christian university in southern California.

Maybe they should upgrade their admission standards?

Police were tipped off last year after a Rezitech customer took her computer into an Apple Genius Bar for servicing. It had been popping up weird messages. One of them, designed to look like a Mac OS X system warning, said, "You should fix your internal sensor soon. If unsure what to do, try putting your laptop near hot steam for several minutes to clean the sensor."

She wasn't the only person to get this particular message. Some victims, tricked by the pop-up warning, did take their computers with them into the shower, Goodrich said.
