A former Davenport West High School science teacher was sentenced this week to six years in prison for secretly recording people in various stages of undress in his Bettendorf home.

That hacker provided a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. There’s no explanation of what the hacker was doing — whether it was a targeted attack on Vanfossen or just someone taking of advantage of security vulnerabilities on home devices or something else.
