One of the main tools this guy is accused of using is keylogging software to steal the victims passwords to her My Space account.
In an excellent report by Ysabel Bilbao over at KTVB Online she reports...
"Stephen Newman, 32, of Meridian is on trial in a case that involves offering an intended rape victim a free iPod online, and then making arrangements for her to pick it up at a porta-potty in a Boise park.
The woman realized the offer was suspicious, and called police.
Officers later arrested Newman at McDevitt Park and say they found several incriminating items in his car.
During the trial, a forensic expert testified he believes Newman chose his victim and made contact with her by hacking into her computer and then her MySpace account - even though it was set to private.
Keystroke Loggers are used in software programs and are designed to sit invisible on any computer to capture & record everything you do.Many like Spectorsoft's eBlaster can literally turn your computer into an Internet TV station that broadcasts your private information around the world.
Your chats, your emails, your credit card information... even the websites you visit can all be stolen for use by anyone.
While keylogging spy software is legally bought & sold over the Internet to monitor your kids or your employees, the above story points out... they can be used to do great harm or damage.
If you feel someone could be monitoring your computer covertly, I do recommend you pick up a copy of SpyCop or SpyCop Cloak to prevent this from happening to you.
