You’d think they’d know better after three months ago, a 22-year-old woman and her mother sued Best Buy and its “Geek Squad” computer repair team for dispatching a technician who filmed the daughter taking a shower (using his cell phone). But then, last week a sting caught a Geek Squad tech red handed, on video, stealing porn from a customer’s computer. Like, it’s SO HARD to find free porn on teh innerwebs. But now this is pure evil, at Consumerist: Geek Squad Hatched Plot To Harvest Porn From Pornstar Jasmine Grey’s Hard Drive, Days Before She Died In Car Crash. It wasn’t an isolated employee here, but an entire fucking team who then passed her pictures around. Repulsive, especially because they so obviously felt that because she was a sex worker they were totally justified to violate her privacy, sexual and otherwise. It’s disgusting that it took the event of her death for these men to feel regret. Snip:

I left for the day and came back the next day to find that one of our fellow employees had copied all of the files to a few dvd’s and shared them with management, as well as most of the other techs.

Her webcam was still locking up her machine when she took her computer home that night, so she returned again in the morning. She still wouldn’t provide us with her site (not that we needed it anyway at that point), but she did want to look into purchasing a new machine. At this point I handed her off to a PCHO rep who proceeded to convince her that instead of buying a new machine…she should just have an Agent come out to fix it at her house (that way she “could rest easy that her privacy would be assured”). The manager on duty at the time was involved in the scam, so he offered to send an Agent out for free to “go the extra mile and insure she only shop at Best Buy in the future” Of course, the Agent that came out to her house was none other than the same person who copied all her files to DVD. He fixed the webcam in a few minutes then spent the entire remainder of the appointment scouring her network for more porn, which he saved to a portable hard drive. Those files were then shared across the store.
