Circuit City Also Steals Porn From Your Computer
Stealing porn from customer’s computers isn’t just for Best Buy, one reader reports they’re doing it at Circuit City, too. He writes:
I wanted to write in about my recent experience with employment at circuit city. I work at a circuit city in Colorado, I was recently hired as holiday help. I was hired on as firedog, but only got the position for a few days, while I was at the post I got a standard firedog USB flash drive as a part of my job, it belonged to my supervisor. It was apparent he had wiped it before he gave it to me, which made me rather suspicious that he wouldn’t leave the standard firedog tools on there…
So I obtained a file recovery tool to check the drive..What I recovered gave me quite a shock.
Massive amounts of porn. And not just the pornstar kind, lots of pics of people in their bathing suites posing with friends, many self taken shots, just creepy stuff that you know was stolen from peoples computers. But other than that I have seen nothing else that would suggest a massive porn ring like that of best buy.

Remember folks, anything you wouldn’t want some stranger to see someday, be it naughty pictures you took with your girlfriend, sensitive documents or banking information, keep it on an external drive so if the computer craps out you just take that in and not your private data.
