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.”

I Love You, Jim. You are one of my inspiration points and our (this forum’s) inspiration point. Prayers going up daily Jim, for you, yours and us (All of us). Those seeking to destroy US and this precious land, have no idea of the fight each of us has and how far each of us will go to keep our enemies on the other side of the divide. God’s Speed, Jim.

If it doesn’t light and should. . . DUCT TAPE!

I already guessed they could do that. The rumor is that with a new flat screen TV they can watch you while you watch it.

I don’t talk much anyway.

Keep in mind that the government has declared conservatives and tea partiers terrorists.

...I believe we are witnessing the stage being set for the criminalization and elimination by force, of Conservative Americans who ally themselves with the TEA Party.

Obama began to prep the government itself for whom he will declare to be enemies of the state, in the April 2009 DHS Terror Assessment. That assessment, right after Obama took office – classified Conservatives, veterans and other anti-tax, pro-Christian, anti-abortion groups as potential mass terrorists.  In that assessment, not one mention of Islamic terrorism – all classifications were of domestic Americans who would be allied with a conservative viewpoint.

"Should I tape over my camera if I am part of a radical home schooling cell or raw milk faction?"

No way I'm going to answer that. You want me to get charged with conspiracy?

God bless you!

I admire you for your wonderful positive attitude in the face of adversity and that you don’t let things slow you down.

see my post 19 — if they can turn on the mic of your mobile phone, I am sure they can turn on its camera too...

I live next to a spy school and an expensive NWO grad school very heavily into international stuff; translation, economic development, and “counter terror/non proliferation”.

And ALL the people studying the spooky stuff have their cams TAPED OVER, just like me.

[SandRat]

Not if you don’t have a WebCam.

The have been able to listen in to anyone in a car equipped with OnStar for years.

If they’ll activate the camera around, oh say, around O dawn thirty, they’ll get a good shot of me on the porcelain recliner in my “office”...reading Free Republic on my smart phone.

Ha! You went high tech, I just use masking tape. :)

There are commercial spy programs anyone can can buy that will allow you to do the same though you to have to install a program on the target computer to do it. What this tidbit tells me is that Apple and Microsoft have some trojan programs / back doors programmed into their software that they haven’t told us about. I would think it would have to be an intentional exploit installed by the software companies themselves.

“The have been able to listen in to anyone in a car equipped with OnStar for years.”

Privacy has been an illusion for quite a while now.

[lepton]

Pervs have indeed been doing that for years. It’d be a shame if the FBI lacked the technical know-how to do the same.

Electric Tape.

My liberal lesbian bookkeeper showed me the electric tape over her webcam on the laptop she brings to my office.

She said her “wife” - apparently they are both wives now -
insisted months ago on taping all the household webcams. That wife an administrative assistant at our liberal University of Washington, which leads me to believe that the
libs have known about this.
