Apple pays out millions to student after repair techs shared her personal images
I've experienced that repair shops ask "and your password and username is?", many times when handing over my laptop - and i'm always like "what, no i'm not giving you my password" resulting in them looking surprised.<p>Who the on earth gives their passwords, also all laptops should be encrypted by default. I find it absurd to give away the keys to your bank, search history, personal notes, images, whatever - it's beyond private and personal besides being economically dangerous and very bad job security wise for most jobs.<p>Not blaming regular people though, but it's weird that people are so lax about giving the keys to absolutely everything.
