Computer Spy Vulnerabilities


A Wyoming couple is suing a national rent-to-own company, claiming that their activity on their rented laptop was being remotely monitored through an attached webcam.

Crystal and Brian Byrd leased their computer from an Aaron`s franchise in Casper, WY. The couple said the store secretly taped them with the computer`s webcam while they were at home.
