FBI Director James Comey gave a lecture at Ohio's Kenyon College last week. Issue; The well-known and oft-said: There is no such thing as "absolute privacy" as encryption by defaultchoice δημιουργεί χώρους όπου οι Αρχές επιβολής του νόμου δεν μπορούν να έχουν access, ακόμη και με δικαστική απόφαση. (για να τ'ακούει ο κόσμος)
Comey has been doing this kind of lecture many times in the past, stressing that encryption in everyday products overturns the balance between security and privacy.
The interesting point came during the questions and answers with the students after James Comey's speech. The FBI director said something unexpected that caught the attention of privacy protection activists.
Comey in one crisis candidly reported that he has placed a "piece of tape" over the camera on his personal laptop.

Probably a very good idea for someone high profile like Comey, as well as spies and hackers they try to hack such accounts and systems at every opportunity.
Πως; Ο πιο δημοφιλής τρόπος σήμερα είναι με το κακόβουλο λογισμικό που ονομάζεται remote access trojan (RAT) ή Trojan απομακρυσμένης πρόσβασης. Το trojan μπορεί να αναλάβει απομακρυσμένα τον τους υπολογιστή σας, να καταγράφει τις talks σας, ή ακόμα και να ενεργοποιήσει την κάμερά σας.
RATs are ideal for espionage, and possibly the FBI uses similar malicious to infect computer suspects in criminal investigations.
The public acceptance of Comey using a movie above his camera caught the attention of an activist who immediately spotted the irony of his FBI director's statement.
Christopher Soghoian, a senior technologist and political analyst at ACLU, immediately began making ironic tweets about Comey, saying that "patriots do not cover their cameras."

The inadvertent admission of fear from Comey reflects the emotion of every internet user who worries about protecting his privacy.
The moment you hide your movie camera you do not think if the hacker is a government employee or a kiddie script, but you think about safeguarding your space and protecting your privacy.
Obviously, however, that applies to Mr James Comey can not apply to all of us. Do you tell us to ban and buy tesafilm?
