Eye of Sauron in your laptop

[YuriVII]

Covered on TYT

Thought this would be a good one for you guys since you know, many of us myself included have webcams. In my case its built in. I wouldn't call TYT the most authoritative source around as they are primarily a progressive pundit show, but does anyone know of any details they are missing? Tin-foil hat guys seems more like prophets than crazy people these days.

Here are other sources as well:

Your video doesn't work. I fixed it for you.



Another example of the normal U.S. Government breach on the Fourth Amendment in the name of counter-terrorism. But really, is this in particular as bad or unpreventable as Google and Facebook having connections to the NSA? l all you need is some duct tape and a piece of paper or a one hundred eighty degree rotation of the web camera and the problem is solved. No one can see anything through your webcam (if you have one).

I demand to see the Eye Of Sauron.

Thanks Aquila. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with those youtube tags. I always do [.YOUTUBE]whatever URL[/YOUTUBE] and seems to always with me.

I never thought of this, I'm sure I should have because its literally the camera in your computer. Who knows all the shameful things you have done in front of the web camera of your laptop?

That used to be God's domain aswell as father frost's

You cant put the whole IURL, only the code.

And the government likes it. A lot.

I can tell, they are such perverts.

It's frankly ridiculous we're not keeping better tabs on people these days with all this great technology around. Privacy is a danger to all conforming citizens/residents.

[Col. Tartleton]

Oh no, they might have pictures of my face while to controversial fetish porn.

Its not like my webcam ever views anything interesting. It's just me operating a laptop. Thousands of hours of blank wandering stares, cheeky grins, chuckles, and occasional shock of disgust.

The same goes for me too, except I don't really take hours, have to keep busy ya know...

[Comrade_Rory]

Nah, I just wanted to use a Ron Swanson gif.
It doesn't really worry me... I have one webcam and it's on my laptop which I only use for my history work. Also, I'm not a terrorist or major criminal so I don't think I have too much to worry about.

Honestly, this is pretty ing creepy. Modern technology has basically allowed the government to become one giant peeping tom.

No. That's what happens when you make people to use things they don't understand. Most average people have no god-damned idea of what their computers are doing all the time, or what these are capable of. They never realize day-to-day risks that come with IT - in fact I doubt they even bother to read the "permissions list" in smartphones when they install apps, and education clearly falls short there.

I present you the most effective countermeasure ever imagined.

You need more to block IR sensors and depth sensors on Kinect. And soon Wi-Fi signals alone can be used as motion detector.

You're welcome. Like what Knight of Heaven said, you put what comes after the "=" and not the whole link for YouTube videos.

From what I know, it isn't just the government. People with somewhat advanced hacking knowledge can do the same thing, and it had led to blackmail.

If the average low level analyst's computer has similar anti-goof-off spyware as my work computer does...Ima Fittin' to Violate They Eyes!!!

My laptop can slide a small piece of plastic to cover the camera. Its for on, off, and now USA-off



Anyway ... this government organisation is the FBI. But don't they have a right to spy of people who are suspects? And there is no mention the software is being used world wide.

I'd also pop the eardrum of the microphone.

If this were all true why then have I not been arrested by FEDS, again..
