Mac Thief Caught Thanks To Applescript & Timbuktu

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the funny-late-night-story dept.

el.cerrito.slasher sent in an amusing bit found on MacSlash. This story is a tale of a stolen iMac that just happened to be running Timbuktu (a remote control program like VNC I believe). Well the stolen box kept getting used, and the owner was able to track it down through a variety of amusing Timbuktu Fu. Funny story.
