He is suing a Montgomery County, Pa., school district for privacy invasion arising from images captured by software in school-issued computers, says a student.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported on Wednesday that the lawsuit filed on behalf of Jalil Hasan, 18, against the Lower Merion School District alleges the "TheftTrack" software installed on the Apple MacBooks issued by the high school to him and 2,300 other students illegally captured private images of his family inside their Ardmore home.

Hasan said, "When I saw those pictures, it really freaked me out."

The Daily News further said that Hasan alleges for nearly two months, the laptop secretly recorded his online activity and captured 469 webcam pictures between Dec. 21 and Feb. 18, and another 543 screen shots were stored on the school district's servers.

Mother Fatima Hasan said, "Pictures of him at home in his bedroom, pictures of family, pictures of friends."

The TheftTrack program, which is no longer in use, was supposed to have been activated only when a laptop was reported lost or stolen, say Lower Merion School District officials.

The Daily News has said that Hasan is represented by attorney Mark Haltzman, who is also handling the case of Blake Robbins whose family filed the first privacy law suit connected to the TheftTrack computer incident on Feb.
18.

Superintendent Christopher McGinley said, "There is no evidence that any students were intentionally targeted. Continued litigation is clearly not the right way to proceed and not in the best interest of the students or the school district community." (With Inputs from Agencies)
