EX-OFFICIAL SAYS FBI CAN SECRETLY ACTIVATE AN INDIVIDUAL’S WEBCAM WITHOUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNING ON
The FBI can secretly activate a computer’s webcam to spy on an individual without turning on the indicator light, a former official revealed to the Washington Post in an article published Friday.
According to the Washington Post’s account of what Marcus Thomas — former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division in Quantico — said, “The FBI has been able to covertly activate a computer’s camera — without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording — for several years, and has used that technique mainly in terrorism cases or the most serious criminal investigations.”

Guess I should shave as well.
Yup I got a pretty good take on what the rest of the world thinks of Obama, the truth has leaked out...
Cool you still do paltalk.
Amateur radio...gonna be the last bastion of freedom communications.
Yes! Don’t forget that the new thing is that facial hair is a sign of wealth and elitism. Your images will be targeted for distribution.
It does have it's share of anti-free speech nazi's that complain anytime someone talks about politics or religion. Still I've said for a number of years now that when the revolution starts, the liberal lamestream media simply must be the first casualty, otherwise the truth will never get out.
And therein lay the reason why I got my license and got on the air. Someone's gotta tell the truth about the revolution and what better way than a couple of big antenna's, big radio's and big amplifiers that make sure I'm heard around the world?
Very cool!
At the ready...
Mine is hardwired to a gif file of a recent colonoscopy.
When they are all through, America will be a back water nation of slaves to a system of high tech computer systems designed to control human beings from cradle to grave. The HAL 9000 of Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Odyssey will be a piker compared to what is in store for the citizens of America.
> Who wants all their computer info on someone else’s server/computer. Or cloud...
I asked a friend a while back if he has enough storage on his phone for all the pics he takes.
He said all his stuff is in the cloud.
The Feds probably invented the Cloud. Have never put my data in the Cloud either. You’re just begging to get hacked when you do.
A- It becomes “legal” through some perversion of the Patriot Act.
Maybe they can read FR while we do!
Interesting. They’d be pretty bored watching me hunched over the keyboard. Maybe I’ll start putting on tape or mount a shutter over it.
“...install Mobistealth Cell Phone Spy Software and begin monitoring with these advanced monitoring features:
Real-Time and Historical Location Tracking
Call Recording
Spy Call (listen live to cell phone surroundings)
Video, Picture, Email and Text Message Log
Web History and Contact Details”
Sheesh.....I need to dump the smart phone and go back to a pager.
You forgot an apostrophe :-)
Everyone’s a critic ...... ;-)
Or you can do like I do: no "smartphone" here ... I have what they call a "feature" phone.
It makes PHONE CALLS (imagine that) and can send an occasional text message. Other than that, no data plan, no internet access from the phone, no watching video's or listening to MP3's. It just makes phone calls and sends an occasional text.
That's it.
BTW: My cellphone service costs me about $100/year that way. I buy 1,000 minutes for $100 and load them on my phone. I've done that the last 4 years now and NEVER have I gone over 1,000 minutes in a year.
Can't beat that deal with a stick.
I’ve still got a couple of those ‘dumb’ phones laying around. I’ve often thought about re-activating one of them with Boost Mobile or a similar pay-as-you-go plan.
I was actually pretty resistant to moving to a smart phone in the first place, but the wife convinced me to let go and move on, partially for business reasons.
I tell you, it's an epidemic. I've caught myself doing the same thing lately, but caught it before I posted. When I was a kid, we'd laugh when we saw others doing that.
Man.......another time and place.
They're probably lying. Anyone know when the FBI's going to start investigating the IRS? First day after eternity right?
