“Consumer-advocate blog Consumerist ran a sting operation to catch a Best Buy Geek Squad member searching for and stealing media files from a customer’s computer. The article includes the story with screen captures and a video of the technician’s actions. From that piece: ‘Reached for comment, Geek Squad CEO Robert Stephens expressed desire to launch an internal investigation and said, “If this is true, it’s an isolated incident and grounds for termination of the Agent involved.” This is not just an isolated incident, according to reports from Geek Squad insiders alleging that Geek Squad techs are stealing porn, images, and music from customer’s computers in California, Texas, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere. Our sources say that some Geek Squad locations have a common computer set up where everyone dumps their plunder to share with the other technicians.’ A related story from a former Geek Squad employee details the decline of the Geek Squad and Best Buy ethics in general.”

How many times has the issue of peoples privacy in the hands of other people been tested and shows humans to FAIL virtually every time? Then create a situation where it’s a bunch of underpaid wanna-be-geek, know nothing losers who’ve had to resort to what must be the worst job in the world, who has access to peoples private info… What did you expect again?
