Rented Computers Captured Customers Having Sex, F.T.C. Says
http://j.mp/TEdUrd (New York Times)
"The Federal Trade Commission said the seven companies involved had
worked with DesignerWare, a Pennsylvania-based software maker, to
create a program that secretly captured "webcam pictures of children,
partially undressed individuals, and intimate activities at home."
This included people who while engaging in sexual activities in their
homes were being recorded on their rental computers."
