I Knew People Could Use Built In Web Cams To Spy on You
So several weeks ago I wrote about how freaky it is to have a built in web cam on my mac.
I thought it would be easy for people to learn how to turn these on remotely.
It turns out someone did use these to spy on people but it’s not who I thought it would be. Tt was a school district!
“A Philadelphia-area school district finds itself under scrutiny after remotely activating a MacBook Web cam and capturing a young stude nt engaging in “improper behavior at home.” The student was confronted by a Harrington High School official and shown photographs of his actions.”
It’s unbelievable. I mean, what did they catch him doing at home that’s inappropriate in the comfort of his own home?? This is pretty sick that the school thought this was ok. They claim that it was set to use to catch people who tried to steal the laptop yet this laptop was never reported stolen and they told the student he was behaving inappropriately at home.
