A perverted computer expert took thousands of intimate pictures of his neighbours after infecting their computers with a virus that allowed him to spy on them through their webcams.
Police in Zaragoza, Spain, arrested the 34-year-old man and confiscated his computer hard drive which contained images of hundreds of people who had absolutely no idea they were being spied on.
He had gained access to their computers through wi-fi (wireless) networks before infecting them with a trojan-type virus which he had designed.
As almost all modern laptops, and many desktops, now come with a built in web cams it meant he could spy on them in their own homes, quietly watching them going about their daily business.
Pictures were taken of unwitting computer owners while they were in the bathroom or in the bedroom.
Some of the pictures were of couples having sex.
The man was also able to obtain the sensitive information such as passwords.
Investigators said the man, who they described as someone with high technical expertise and few friends, had used a very advanced computer virus.
Child pornography was also discovered on the man's hard drive.
