Undercover is a development of the Belgian company Orbicule. The program, in case your laptop is stolen, will begin to help in every possible way in its search. When the thief or the person who bought the stolen mac connects to the Network, Undercover will start transmitting data. These can be IP addresses (already good), which will allow you to reach the provider and then directly to his client. Another interesting feature is sending screenshots to the real owner. Such screenshots can be useful if they flash email addresses or a chat conversation. Finally, the third intriguing possibility is the use of the built—in iSight camera. So it will be possible to see the thief remotely.
If nothing has helped, Undercover will try to make the Mac simply unusable — the program will gradually darken the screen to such a state that it will be impossible to work.
What is the principle of Undercover? After purchasing and installing the program, the user receives a special identifier. When connected to the Network, Undercover will start checking whether the laptop is in the stolen list. As soon as the «mac» is stolen, you report the issued ID to the developers and they will start tracking. If the search is unsuccessful, they promise to return the money spent on the purchase of the program.
