Julie Amero – Spyware Poster Child
A botched case. A computer illiterate detective. Malware. The makings for a good movie? This only tended to piss me off and then I cried. Take a peek at The JulieGroup
Justice would have been a proper investigation at the outset before she lost her baby, her reputation, her job, and ultimately, her good health. ~Karoli

Read all about how spyware nearly sent a teacher to prison at Computerworld! -If there’s a poster child for the dangers of spyware, it’s Julie Amero.
The 41-year-old former substitute teacher was convicted of four felony counts of endangering minors last year, stemming from an Oct. 19, 2004, classroom incident where students were exposed to inappropriate images.
Prosecutors had argued that Amero put her students at risk by exposing them to pornography and failing to shield them from the pop-up images after they appeared on her classroom computer.
Original conviction on felony charges overturned after security experts came to her defense.
