The FBI can secretly activate a computer’s webcam to spy on an individual without turning on the indicator light.

This was confirmed by a former FBI-official in an article in Washington Post on 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.”

My comment:
It is great to have an FBI source confirming what some of us have claimed for many years. The guys who have made your lap-top and smartphone, can turn the divice on. Without you even knowing that it has been done.
A web-camera is the perfect spyware. The inventor of this technology have made you place it facing your own head. Whoever enter your room can be monitored.
When we are aware of this, we need to restrict online communication. The best way of sharing information is the good old analog way. By simply taking the battery out of our mobile phone, and have a cup of tea with a friend outside of office.
What is the purpose of the governmental sponsored cyber space spy programs?
The babylonian rulers what to make a profile on you. As long as you submit to the political correctness, there is no danger of intervention. But a handful of claims, will lead you into the bad books:
1. Muhammad is a false prophet (Islamofobia)
2. Homosexuality is sin (homofobia)
3. Jews have the right to live in Samaria. (Enemy of peace).
4. Jesus of the Bible is the only way to heaven. (Religious extremism).
If you stand firm on these four issues, you will surely be monitored and persecuted. But behold: Jesus the Messiah has overcome this World, and have prepared a mansion for you inside the eternal Kingdom of heaven. Amen.

Hi Ivar,
I have my sticky note over my camera lens. I’m not paranoid, I just like my privacy, what’s left of it anyway.
Dear deniseandros
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I have no note over my camera. So Obama can look into my face at any moment. May be I should do like you….
Good morning Ivar,
It’s not that I really care, I think that I’m pretty well prepared for FEMA camp. I just like being contrary, especially to this current regime.
I have duct tape covering the mic and camera on my Mac.
Why have a webcam?
Dear Venner av Israel
Shalom.
On my MAC, it is built in. Cant get rid of it….But, I can cover it. Do not want Obama to see me unshaved…
Can’t open mine… it is unplugged unless I want to use it…
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:14-16.
