The school district near Philadelphia accused of turning on webcams in student issued computers is getting a lot more press recently.
Blake Robbins filed a lawsuit against Lower Merion School District near Philadelphia, alleging that the school district activated the webcam in the student's school-issued MacBook to photograph him in his own home.
The school district claimed they had a picture of the student doing drugs. The student says it was candy. Nonetheless, there are some majjor privacy concerns here.
If you have a school issued computer I suggest you put some electrical tape over your webcam if you suspect it may be accessed remotely.
