NEW, by me: The check-in computers at several hotels around the U.S. are running a consumer-grade spyware app called pcTattletale.

pcTattletale was seen stealthily and continually capturing screenshots of the hotel booking systems, which contained guest information and reservation details.

This was discovered because a security researcher found a flaw in the spyware is exposing these screenshots to the internet, not just the spyware's intended users.

@zackwhittaker I think you meant to write: “The check-in computers at several hotels around the U.S. are running a beta version of Microsoft Recall”

@zackwhittaker And now it's a Windows feature, not a bug

@zackwhittaker I’ve seen people use those computers for so much personal stuff and the staff at those places don’t bother checking security on those machines. They really should setup a guest account system where once you log off everything is cleared for the next user. Nothing gets stored. You could basically just setup a chrome book browser.
