Din Screensaver eller din e-mail lurer dig af!

E-mail, screensavers og elektroniske greeting cards kan indeholde hemmelig kode som tænder for din mikrofon eller web-cam, laver en indspilning af dig og sender det til en eller anden uden at du opdager noget!

Øøøhhh, er folk ikke lige lovlig paranoide? Jeg tror der nogen der har set ”Conspiracy Theory” lidt for mange gange!
Men nyheder kommer fra BBC, så lidt må der vel være om det.
Her er et uddrag af nyheden.


Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because - although rare - bugging by computer can, and has been done.

Bill Lyons, head of the internet security company Finjan, said: "Military people in the United States have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then computer hackers are aware of it.

"The frightening thing is, there are tools on the internet which people, using a simple search engine, can find which will enable them to bind this malicious code to simple attachments."

Experts have also confirmed that what can be done with a computer's microphone could also be done with a webcam - allowing pictures to be taken of people near a computer terminal.

Carl Saran, from Computer Weekly magazine, said: "I don't think this is scaremongering - it is potentially possible.

"I'm sure there are clever people who are thinking about how they can use this feature to look at what people are doing on their computers."
