Mac Theft Recovery Software Tracks Thieves 82
Dubpal writes "Apple Macintosh users can now fit their machines with theft protection software that reports back on what a thief is doing with their computer, should it ever be stolen. The software, named "Undercover" allows users to report their Macs as stolen, causing the software to report back with IPs, screenshots and even a picture of the thief and his surroundings. In addition to this, Undercover begins faking hardware faults, displaying messages and even reading them aloud, alerting anyone around that the Mac's been stolen."

Hint: it doesn't discover it is stolen, you (the owner) report it as such to the company.

Horsecrap. The firmware password is trivial to get around - you can just add Ram & remove it. Bam. Done.
