Viral Tumblr blog exposes innocent users of stolen laptop

Posted on April 13, 2013 by pogowasright.org

A month after losing his laptop to theft, London-based Dom Deltorto was surprised when the tracking software on his laptop tracked it in Tehran, Iran. And much to his surprise, the laptop even began sending back images of the family who it seems purchased his laptop and were now using it .

tech2 reports that although Deltorto started posting the pictures on his blog, his increasing awareness of the privacy concerns of the innocent purchasers of his stolen laptop produced a change in heart and conscience, and he deleted the photos. Read the story on tech2.
