- user24 13y agoYeah, in this case. It doesn't fill me with confidence that 'they' aren't remotely activating and recording images without our knowledge though. As to topicality, it depends how narrow your interpretation of the topic is.
- higherpurpose 13y agoFBI has already done that for years in US. This is how they "protected us" - by not telling anyone about such bugs for years. How can you then trust anything they say about "cyber security"? They don't care about cyber security, only cyber offense. http://nypost.com/2013/12/08/fbi-can-turn-on-your-web-cam/ http://nypost.com/2013/12/08/fbi-can-turn-on-your-web-cam/
