Web tracking company gave info to marketers

Sentry software allows parents to spy on their children’s internet activities. The Federal Trade Commission says when Sentry is installed on a computer, parents can log in to their Sentry account and view the activity taking place on the target computer, including chat conversations, instant messaging and web history. But unknown to parents, the FTC says, the company was then turning around and giving that information to marketers. An agreement has now been reached and Sentry agreed to knock it off. No real surprise here: spies, spy. Your mom could have told you that.
