ChickenCleanerUser Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just wanted to ask you blokes that if I keep my laptop's built in camera and mic on but don't use it, does it gives the secret agencies a back door access to my online activities? and if yes then how do I stop it? How do you blokes as being a hat representative keep yourself to a minimum exposure? and what is a server bot, is it for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a hat representative so I cannot answer this question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Bot Yes ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Derek891 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If you're really concerned about government surveillance, here's an example of how to beat it: Don't own a computer or have any connection to the internet Don't have cable television Don't have a telephone Don't own a car - no registration or insurance Don't live in an apartment and pay rent Don't own a house and pay a mortage or property taxes Don't have a job and pay income taxes - work "off the books" and get paid in cash Don't have any credit cards - pay cash for everything you buy Don't have any nelghbors - live in a 10 foot by 12 foot cabin in the middle of nowhere, in a state like Montana for instance Don't have heat or electricity so you have no utility bills Don't have any friends, so nobody knows anything about you This sounds pretty crazy, doesn't it? Well it worked for Ted Kaczynski (a.k.a. The Unabomber) for nearly 18 years. And if it wasn't for the fact that his younger brother David called the F.B.I. and turned him in, he might still be out there. Start every day with a smile and get it over with. - W.C.

Moderators DennisD Posted October 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2013 Make sure that your flash player settings denies any website you visit access to your camera and microphone ... Global Privacy Settings panel: Note that the settings panel you see isn't an image. It actually is the settings manager, and the first item is camera and microphone access. That's about the best you can do, and the tape idea isn't a bad one. My camera has a sliding shutter to protect the lens, but it also makes you feel a bit more secure that the camera is blind. It's beady eye can't be looking at you. They could always be listening though. Just kiddin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 5, 2013 They could always be listening though. They've probably invested bogus billions on microphones in space (although there's no sound in space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windows on the house serve as microphone diaphragms, and lasers in space can detect the vibrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they like the Black Metal and Death Metal my windows are straining to for their eavesdropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
