Geek Squad Posted Woman's Nude Photos, Lawsuit Claims

At Best Buy, the Geek Squad technical support people are supposed to help customers. But University of Alabama art student Nicole March claims that the group is more like the Peek Squad. She alleges that when she brought her computer in for repair to the Tuscaloosa store where she worked, Geek Squad members posted her nude pictures online after finding them on her machine, as AL.com reports.

There have been cases where employees allegedly secretly taped or photographed co-workers as well as spied on the contents of people's gadgets. But there aren't many cases where the alleged victim is both a co-worker and customer.

March's suit claims that on August 18, 2011, she brought her computer into the Best Buy and paid $131 to have the Geek Squad restore lost data. All seemed fine until a Geek Squad employee allegedly told her on May 13 of this year that nude photos of her were online, including the famous outlaw file sharing site Pirate Bay, according to TV station WSFA. March's lawyer, Steven Heninger, told the station that the photos were meant as references for classwork, not for salacious or public use.

The news would be enough to give almost anyone a Crimson Tide of blushing.

Operation Confidence is disappointed with the Geek Squad if this is true because its  common for student artists to have reference photos of the human body to help them accurately prepare drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Although books of reference photos are available, many art students don't have much spare money and having digital pictures of themselves could provide the same type of reference material virtually for nothing.
