This is an absolute disgrace, if anyone's got the photos please post them up to help us understand the gravity of the situation :winkwink:
The first thing any male-dominated IT Department does with a computer is to run a
*.jpg search, maybe she's not so naive and wanted them to take a look. Now that this is in the news her photos will get circulated at 100,000 times the previous rate.

" An art student at the University of Alabama is suing Best Buy on claims a Geek Squad employee stole naked photos of her off her laptop and circulated them online.
Nicole March, 20, claims that after paying a Best Buy Tuscaloosa store $131 on Aug. 18, 2011, to have her computer looked at her private files were raided and then uploaded.
It wasn't until nearly two years later on May 13, 2013 that she, a former Best Buy employee herself, was notified of the horrifying scandal thanks to a Best Buy tipster."
" Geek Squad employee Nathaniel Smith claimed he saw the shocking uploads of her after sent a link to a website that not only showcased her photos but identified her by name.
Smith identified former Geek Squad employee, Edwin Kinloch, as the man who sent him the link which took her to website Piratesbay.sx where the photos had been uploaded for sharing, according to March's complaint.
Attempts by the Daily News to reach Kinloch ? who is not named as the first employee to obtain access to the photos ? were not immediately returned."
" A LinkedIn page belonging to Kinloch identifies him as having worked at the Tuscaloosa store from February, 2010 until January, 2012.
March contacted the Best Buy store immediately, and within four days a Geek Squad agent told her he had found the person responsible for the crime and her photos would be deleted.
The agent further asked March to not ask who the culprit is, as a "favor."
March, who says she shot the photos as part of her personal and private artwork, was described in the complaint as suffering "severe mental anguish, embarrassment, and humiliation" from the theft.
She filed a police report and is suing the store for an undisclosed monetary compensation according to her attorney speaking to ABC.
A request for comment by the Best Buy store was refused because the litigation is pending.
In an email sent to the Daily News, the store wrote that "Best Buy is committed to responsible customer information management practices, and our employees are trained to follow very specific procedures that govern how they care for this important information."
