IT Repair Installs Webcam Spying Software

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-look-hot-undressing dept.

Vapon writes "A lady noticed her computer was running slower after she had brought her computer in to be repaired. She took the computer to a second repair shop where they found that one of the problems was that her webcam would turn on whenever it detected her around and was taking photos and uploading it to a website. The repair technician that installed the software has done this to at least 10 women and has photos of at least one undressing."

      Are you fucking serious? This is a joke, It has to be, no one could be so stupid and still type. I have lots to hide, everyone does, especially when using a PC. How about whacking it to pron? How about P2P piracy, how about copying from wikipedia for an essay? How about uploading stupid comments as an AC?

      Except now you've posted it on the internet that you do these things so you don't have to hide it anymore. (and yes I'm joking for you morons that can't tell)

    I need to see a naked girl to shit in a cup/i>

    You can't shit in a cup without seeing a naked girl? Not to mention the other two items.

    You have issues.

    Once you jack off to Japanese girls puking in each other's mouths, you can't exactly go back to Playboy!

    Will anyone dare to click on a link labeled "dick"?

    I am concerned about the validity of this story, and I agree that seeing the video would help lend credibility.

    A webcamera is one of the things that I will never again attach to my computer. I rigged up a webcam to my computer once so while I chatted with some chicks they could see me. My sister used my computer while I was away for a week. Looks like she would just invite some random lusers to use the webcam.

    Well a message popped up one afternoon and it was from some luser telling me I was cute. I ask him how he know he said my webcam was on. Then he ask me if I would get naked for him. And it was a guy.

    Camera in box.. box back to store. Now when some chick wants a picture I just direct her to a website where I have a picture of J. Random. Hunk.

    Works for me.
