Porn and Geek Squad Don’t Mix

The Consumerist recently set up a sting operation to see if Geek Squad ‘officers’ would steal porn from their purposely laced computers. Of course, one agent did steal porn, with video and log files to prove it. What can we gain from this? That getting your PC repaired by a ridiculous establishment is not a wise thing to do. In all fairness to Geek Squad though, they are in no way the only organization who has this kind of thing happen. Still an interesting story nonetheless.

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 Squads have a central server set up where everyone dumps their plunder to share with the other technicians.
