School Sued for Spying on Students with Webcams
The Lower Merion School District has been accused of spying on students through webcams on their laptops.
“While certain rules for laptop use were spelled out … there was no explicit notification that the laptop contained the security software,” said Superintendent Christopher W. McGinley. “This notice should have been given, and we regret that was not done.”
“Despite some reports to the contrary, be assured that the security-tracking software has been completely disabled,” said McGinley.
Security Note: Beware of webcams and microphones on your computer. If they are connected, it is possible for someone to remotely control these devices. They can see you. They can hear you.
