Maybe this is just paranoid tinfoil hat shit

[dddaver]

I read an article written 2006 on CNETNEWS that said the FBI has the capability to turn the microphone on your cellphone on even when the unit it is turned off. Nothing new there. And that was four years ago.

Now, most newer laptops come with a built-in HD webcam and microphone. I almost went for it because my laptop is 5 years old and great deals are out there right now. My current laptop has neither of those features but is getting to be just a slow POS.

But I'm concerned how easily those features can be hacked by any nut-job or accessed by the piggers. The security of those seems nonexistent. I even read a forum where one kid was talking to his girl-friend, she shut off her PC, but he could still see her. Now with laptops, even when unplugged there is power from the battery anyway. But still there are capacitors or other hardware that store power too, so powering the things somehow or other is possible, it seems.

Is all this just paranoid ramblings, tin foil hat shit, or is that all a possibility and a HUGE personal security blunder fostered by big business? Actually it could be seen as a planned way to augment control. I am not alone at all in seeing all the holes in personal security here and wondering in amazement why this fairly recent phenomena of social networking is so hugely popular.

Gimme my fucking tinfoil hat, I need it.

I don't know about your PC, but I'm pretty sure your toaster is watching you.

 

[ddrew]

It can also fly, so there's no running away from it.

I don't know about your PC, but I'm pretty sure your toaster is watching you.

Foildog knows what time it is...

I cover my toaster when not in use just for that reason...

I also leave the lid down on the toilet - fuckers watch everything...

But I do sit naked in front of TV - let them watch me fap to 6:00 news. That weather girl knows I'm there, and she appreciates it...

Just because it's paranoid tinfoil hat shit, doesn't mean it's wrong...

You never know brother... But unless you are into some serious CIA shit, I don't think you are probably a big target for people that may have these capabilities. Although if you supported Ron Paul, or tied your shoes wrong in the last two years you are probably on the Homeland Security List at your local FEMA fusion center..... Google it.


PS. Tinfoil hat shit isn't that crazy but this is.

No, its not paranoid. Just this year there was a case in PA of a school district activating web cams to spy on students in there home.

I can't find the link now, but there was a Discovery/TLC type program about how to disappear off the grid, and one of the things mentioned was that web cams can be remotely activated. Simple solution was to place a bandaid over the lens.

But, unless you are already on someone's radar, I doubt you have much to worry about.

I refuse to live under a rock, just be aware and use a little common sense. Don't let it consume you.

 

[BlackThumbGrowr]

ya but the school gave out those laptops and installed the program beforehand. just dont let anyone touch your puter hehe for the average joe shmo who keeps his mouth shut and isnt in any other large trouble it is just bein paranoid

ohh fellas just to let you know the identity theft fucks are now using a CC reader you can now buy for a hundey and they can walk up on you and scan your CC thru your pants and wallet. They actually had one and did it to a man standing up all his info popped right up.. so on the tinfoil tip cover your CC's with tinfoil and that will prevent that from happenning.. peace n pufs..

just a few subversive remarks will get you noticed.
who needs this crap?
i sometimes notice the hard drive on my 'puter dancing when the unit is turned off.
knew they were doin' some sh*t, stopped when i disabled my connection...never trusted the net nor cell phones.
just another reason.
