It sounds totally paranoid, but covering your camera with tape might not be such a bad idea. THE Mark Zuckerberg αλλά και ο διευθυντής του FBI James Comey το κάνουν ήδη.
In fact, James Comey has defended his earlier statements today that he says he uses a tape to cover his devices.
"Do you still have film over the cameras in your house?" a researcher asked at the Center for Strategic and International Studies conference, FBI Director James Comey.
Comey replied:
“Heck yeah, heck yeah. And it's something they play on me… but I think people lock their cars […] lock their doors at night. I have an alarm system. If you have an alarm system you should use it. "It's not crazy that the FBI Director cares about personal safety."
Comey went further, explaining that it was common practice for the FBI and every government office to cover cameras with common materials such as the film.
“You can go to any government office, we all have little films on the camera at the top of it screen. They all have a little lid that closes.”
The debate was centered around the growing concern that the Internet of Things was equally convenient but also a nightmare for security.
Comey believes that most Americans take for granted that Mr computer τους μπορεί να τους προστατεύσει από το malicioususers, which most of us know from is very far from reality.
