If you rented a computer you should not be in front of it
without your shirt on. On September 2nd
2012 seven computer rental companies agreed to a settlement with the FTC after
it was discovered that they were unlawfully capturing photos of customers by
using illicit software that controlled a computer's webcam.
These seven companies captured pictures and video of
children undressing and individuals engaging in sexual activities in their
homes.
These companies used a program called PC Rental Agent and have
it installed on over 420,000 computers worldwide.
Because of this settlement rental companies are now BAN from
using any spying software.
Check out the entire story at the NY
Times.
