Ο Διευθυντής του FBI James Comey έδωσε μια διάλεξη στο Kenyon College του Ohio την περασμένη εβδομάδα. Το θέμα; Το γνωστό και χιλιοειπωμένο: Δεν υπάρχει “απόλυτη προστασία της ιδιωτικής ζωής” καθώς η κρυπτογράφηση από προεπιλογή δημιουργεί χώρους όπου οι Αρχές επιβολής του νόμου δεν μπορούν να έχουν πρόσβαση, 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 a fit of candor, said he had placed a "piece of tape" over her camera στο προσωπικό φορητό υπολογιστή του.

It's probably a very good idea for a high profile, like Comey, as spies and hackers try to break such bills and systems at every opportunity.
How; The most popular way today is with malware called remote access trojan (RAT) ή Trojan απομακρυσμένης πρόσβασης. Το trojan μπορεί να αναλάβει απομακρυσμένα τον τους υπολογιστή σας, να καταγράφει τις talks you, or even activate your camera.
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.
O Christopher Soghoian, ένας ανώτερος τεχνολόγος και πολιτικός αναλυτής της ACLU, άρχισε αμέσως τα ειρωνικά tweets για τον Comey αναφέροντας ότι οι “πατριώτες δεν καλύπτουν τις κάμερες τους.”

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?
