Last month, we discussed whether the new Microsoft Kinect could be used as an NSA spying tool. When it comes to the microphones in Android cell phones and laptop computers, though, surveillance might not be a theoretical question. The Wall Street Journal reports that the FBI can already remotely activate those microphones to record conversations

Blue Train posted:You've probably never stopped to think about all the funny facial expressions you make when you're busy flinging Angry Birds at Bad Piggies, but if your phone has secretly been turned into a "spy phone," then an attacker could tell you because he or she could snap pictures of you as you play. If you don't play Angry Birds, then don't start feeling smug and secure, because it only took about two weeks for security researchers to write malicious code that can be injected into any Android app on the Google Play store. Although this was originally aimed at Android, don't feel left out, iPhone users, as you too can have your phone turned into a "cyber-surveillance" device. cool thats about android and about giving an app privileges to do just that

Locker Room Zubaz posted:cool thats about android and about giving an app privileges to do just that According to leaked documents, the NSA claims a 100 percent success rate when it comes to implanting iOS devices with spyware. The documents suggest that the NSA needs physical access to a device to install the spyware—something the agency has achieved by rerouting shipments of devices purchased online—but a remote version of the exploit is also in the works. do you just not watch the news or what

quote:FBI Director James B. Comey sharply criticized Apple and Google on Thursday for developing forms of smartphone encryption so secure that law enforcement officials cannot easily gain access to information stored on the devices — even when they have valid search warrants. quote:Comey’s remarks followed news last week that Apple’s latest mobile operating system, iOS 8, is so thoroughly encrypted that the company is unable to unlock iPhones or iPads for police. Google, meanwhile, is moving to an automatic form of encryption for its newest version of Android operating system that the company also will not be able to unlock, though it will take longer for that new feature to reach most consumers. he must be lying to trick us into a sense of complacency

Never buy a device invented by a guy who died from an easily treatable form of cancer because he tried to treat it with crystals and pepper water.

I scoff every time I see an android user unlock their phone and see the disgusting home screen filled with icons out of 1995 and a stupid huge clock with retarded font in the top corner and wonder to myself how people live like that.
