This would be hard to do if the laptops had Linux installed or they were Macs. MickySoft has the back doors for this and other intrusions built-in.

A suburban Philadelphia school district used school-issued laptop web cams to spy on students at home, a federal lawsuit claims.

Officials at the US school district can activate webcams on the computers without students' knowledge or permission, a family alleges in the lawsuit.

Plaintiffs Michael and Holly Robbins suspect the cameras captured students and family members as they undressed and in other embarrassing situations.
