What began as a routine service request for a broken Wi-Fi connection quickly became a criminal investigation, a technician tasked with backing up a customer's data, opened a file directory, and immediately identified illegal content. The device belonged to a man named Gary Johnson.

The employee halted the repair process and contacted authorities. And to give you like a better idea, because as I told him, so like, he called and I spoke with him on the phone and that was when I told him, I can't fix your Wi-Fi problem. It's going to have to be a full reinstall. Do you have data that you need me to back up? And he says, yes, make sure you back up the pictures.
