Everywhere I go someone always has their webcam covered up on either their laptop or phone, and they can't give any legitimate reason for why they do it. They always say it's so nobody spies on them, but they never can explain to me how they're able to do that besides
They don't even go to the trouble to cover up their microphone, which is arguably more damning then the webcam. When you're using your device, you probably have the exact same expressionless face the whole time while you're using it. If you're stupid enough to do something retarded that people can see like strip naked and take pictures of yourself, then that's on you. Don't blame hackers for when they inevitably leak. Having the microphone exposed is vastly more exploitable since any form of auditory information such as passwords and other personal incriminating info can be passing through the area you're in that's worlds more interesting than your blank face. And if someone really wanted to know more about you they'd just install a keylogger or screencap tool, they couldn't give less of a fuck about what you actually look like.
Now we're at the point where companies are actually trying to spin disabling webcams into a feature we should pay more for
invidio.us
My question is why the fuck are normalniggers so concerned about the ebil boogeymen getting a quick peak at their face? It's all placebo in the long run and I cannot stand when people this they're safe just because of a piece of tape. Either go all the way or don't fucking try at all.
Webcam Paranoia
Why does it have to be magic? Is a remote code execution exploit magic?
Sage for fedposting. NSAniggers confirmed for spying on people through their webcam.
If you ain't ever using it but isn't gonna remove it either, then taping it up is a "it just werkz" solution to it.
People don't understand the technical details of how technology works. Covering the camera is a low cost and highly reliable solution to spying using the camera. Covering the microphone is also a good solution.
It's too bad that they're ignorant because they should also realize that non-free software is also spying on them.

One can scan for certain open ports to view peoples house/buisness cams. Whatever. Appliances have had these open out of the box, or by default. As well smart tvs had/have mics open, cams wide open. Where even putting a passphrase on these was useless as using a passphrease aqwerty, where the passphrase was adequate.
No doubt a simple answer, is that 'they' cover their webcam
In certain products, circumstances, if the option is there
and people turned off their webcam mic, the exploits were
still active and fully open, as easy as connecting to a
persons IP address.
Tapeing a webcam, a good idea is to put a piece of paper over the lens then tape over it to keep glue
from getting over the lens. I have done work for pretty well off people who their business could be
compromised just as easy as a moment of a passphrase, email name password being seen on
a piece of paper for a moment through a flaw, or spyware/virus designed to do whatever.
i only disabled them in the bios on the only device that has them. maybe the nsa tranny can still access them but i dont really care. they would get disgusted and bored quickly.
Metasploit.
There's a photo of Zuckerberg in his office with his taped over. That's a good enough reason for me.
The cianiggers disable Intel ME on their systems. Why don't they just leave it open like everyone else? Really makes you think.
