Seven rent-to-own companies and a software maker are settling charges with
the Federal Trade Commission that rental computers illegally used spyware
that took “pictures of children, individuals not fully clothed, and couples
engaged in sexual activities.”
As per the course, the FTC slapped the hand of DesignerWare of North East
Pennsylvania and the rent-to-own companies. The
settlement<http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2012/09/designware.shtm>,
announced Tuesday, only requires them to halt using their spy tools, which
has been employed on as many as 420,000 rentals.
