Does your computer's internal camera randomly take your picture?

I remember back in the day we would fuck with people using netbus or back orifice. You could literally control their computers (the best was making the cd tray open and close) and take screenshots to see them trying to fix it. I have to imagine it's a lot easier to do now.

Today my laptop froze up and when I rebooted I checked the error log files. The program that froze it up was called listen.exe and it takes random samples. All I could find on this is that sony put it into their computers and it's also associated with intel. I got a little paranoid after that. lol

I personally think it's an easy way for them to scan our retinas for future ID purposes.

Maybe all GLPers should start faking them out by putting in those Halloween Zombie contact lenses before looking into the camera and getting snapped.

If some fuck wants to take pics of me cuffing the dummy to web porn then let them. They are the sick fucks not me. If I find video of me on the web cuffing the dummy I will be rich when I am done suing their asses.

No tape over my cam.

No camera on my computer. I have 5 outside one with ptz and night vision and one mole cam inside, which is hard switched to off till I leave town. From there i can monitor everything from my Iphone.

I had it happen to me once, turned out somehow a key logger got installed on my computer. Since then I keep my camera taped up

The camera on your computer does not have a shutter therefore it does not make any noise. It only has a sensor that is able to detect an image and the noise is a preprogrammmed noise made by the speaker. This is the same as the camera on phones.

What your most likely hearing is the hard drive parking.

All computers park the head on the hard drive for various reasons. The sound is similar to a shutter.

Watch the 0.38 seconds time of this video.

Recently during an eye exam they wanted to scan my eyes to check for other illnesses. Insurance didn't cover it. I said no, I'm not paying for it and besides nothing is wrong with me.

It was a Optomap Retinal Exam. See pictures here.

There is one eye test that tells if you are going to have Alzheimer's, I'd rather not know. Somebody can tell me after I'm nuts. LOL

Now that made me laugh.

No but Ive somehow accidentally taken screenshots with my Nook. And I know that people who hack into peoples webcams can spy on them that way but not sure if they can take pictures that way.

It ain't just your laptops and webcams watching you...

The need to mandate a mass roll out of such hidden surveillance devices is undoubtedly one of the reasons that governments in both the UK and the US, as well as eventually the entire planet, are overseeing a forced switchover to digital TV and killing traditional analogue broadcasts. The vast majority of TV's require a digital decoder box to receive digital TV transmissions.

By installing covert spy devices and hidden microphones inside our all but mandatory digital boxes, the government and whatever corporate entities get a slice of the pie, have direct access to our living rooms. This is the ultimate Big Brother scenario whereby the majority of Americans and Europeans will have Orwellian telescreens watching their every move.

Many will dismiss such claims as conspiracy fodder, but the fact is that Americans have been spied on for decades, previously under the Echelon program and more recently as part of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program.

Just put tape on mine...have been hearing sounds too.

I used to tape mine then I thought..FUCK em. If they want to see me yankin my thing, picking my nose, or whatever I really don't give a fuck. And if the rest of the planet somehow gets to see it too? Well fuck them as well.
NO MORE TAPE FOR ME!!!!!!

Be aware of the software that you run on your computers, IMO.

I painted mine with whiteout/liquid paper, then i scratched it really badly when i tried to get it off.

Camera behind the LCD screen. There's a patent for that. Apple owns it. Have to be others.

That's what I did. Amazing, you have to cover the cam to avoid being secretly photographed in your own home... What is this world coming to

Television sets record sound with images taken, even with the black box.

entertainment purposes or to sell info to companies

Could be Malware...

There called "RATs"

I am stuck on band aids because band aids are stuck on me.
Me laptop camera that is.
Yes websites do take pictures btw, it is fact.
This one doesn't though

Don't forget to kill the drivers as well.
Tape the mic and kill those drivers.

I put a mirror on mine so I can record who is watching me.

Flash player can access your webcam and microphone unless you set it to deny or ask.
If you set it to Allow then anyone can look at it.

Ive seen the Eye in Kinect of my XBOX follow me around the room even when its in off mode...

my laptop camera is covered with black tape. My company supplied this thing and I am not taking any chances. lol. the cia already admitted that they can take control over phones and computers thru a back door. smile while your looking at porn.

if you people are that paranoid, why don't you take the time to learn the software and hardware and reconfigure it to your needs?

most of this thread is baseless fear mongering.
