I wonder if this is related to the fact that iOS now shows an indicator light when the camera is active? If your phone ended up with a modified camera, perhaps it could spy on you without you knowing.
- fouc 6y agoThe article is arguing that it shouldn't be treated like a security component, but I'd probably disagree with that.
- manmal 6y agoThe indicator is purely software driven though. But, I could imagine that a complete spying device could be inserted instead of the camera module.
- speedgoose 6y agoThe light is not very useful anyway. Source: http://xlab.berkeley.edu/connect/Portnoff%20-%20WebcamPaper.pdf http://xlab.berkeley.edu/connect/Portnoff%20-%20WebcamPaper....
