Provided that, in 2013, Edward Snowden said that the NSA (National Security Agency of the USA) can access the cameras and microphones of personal computers, various have been the rumours about the spying done by the u.s. authorities to ordinary citizens. In April of this year, the director of the FBI, James Comey, confessed that tapava the camera of your laptop with adhesive tape.
I am obviously a portable computer. PI dream of a piece of tape over the camera, because you saw someone more intelligent than I am," to do so, explained at the time the leader of the FBI.
After you have been criticized a little bit throughout the internet, James Comey, came now to stress again the importance of the gesture. During a conference in Washington, DC, last week, the leader of the FBI recognized that it was "much enjoyed by this", but said that it continues to use the tape. "In any government office, we all have small chambers at the top of the screen. All have small ribbons to placing them," explained Comey.
The FBI director has left again the council to do the same. "Do this for the people that don’t have the authority not can look for yourself. I think that is a good thing," he said. "There are things that can be done, and this is one of them," says Comey, who was mainly criticized for maintaining this posture at the same time fighting against Apple to unlock an iPhone used by one of the terrorists of San Bernardino.
The director of the FBI is not the first to motivate the discussion about the need to plug the camera to the computer. In June of this year, the leader of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, was photographed next to your laptop. The image shows both the camera and microphone of the computer covered by a piece of tape.
