Best Buy will face stiff competition if it ever tries to penetrate the UK market, as this hidden camera investigation into peeping tom computer repair shops reveals.
A Sky News hidden camera investigation finds computer techs snooping through and downloading to thumb drive private photo folders, and even trying to access an online banking account with the login information found on the laptop.
Remember folks, keep anything you wouldn’t want a sleazeball finding on an external harddrive so if you computer ever goes in for repair, you’re not also handing over your secret bits.
Also remember, when you’ve got a computer problem across the pond, don’t take it in for repair AT THE SKETCHIEST-LOOKING COMPUTER SHOP IN WEST LONDON.
