    Probe reveals computer technicians paid to fix computers are snooping into private fi

    Computer repairers paid to fix laptops are snooping into private files, we can reveal.

    Geeky technicians sift through confidential documents, pinch secret passwords, look at emails and one was even caught leering at a girl’s private bikini-clad photos.

    They were also found misdiagnosing faults, overcharging for basic work and deleting private files.

    The shocking evidence was uncovered by a Sky News investigation, seen by the Mirror, where a new laptop was taken to five repair shops in London. Engineers installed it with secret cameras and spy software and rigged it with a simple, easily detectable fault.

    The only thing that I find surprising about this is that someone found it surprising.

    LOL, the only thing I found surprising was that there was one honest person out of the bunch.
