Researchers from the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center have developed malicious software that can remotely seize control of the camera on an infected smartphone and employ it to spy on the phone’s user.

The malware, dubbed “PlaceRaider,” “allows remote hackers to reconstruct rich, three-dimensional models of the smartphone owner’s personal indoor spaces through completely opportunistic use of the camera,” the researchers said in a study published last week.

Good question, you probably wouldn't though. What's really crazy is how it can use the phone to create a 3D image of the room you are in. It's just like in Batman.

God knows what else they have.

tape. making tape works well and gives a nice colorful hue to the picture while making the image unrecognizable.

I had the feeling, it was true, because that would be a great way to spy, for a few months I had a creepy feeling, so I would stick something over my cam lens too. Interesting post

I bet it does. Cool idea but slightly scary.

By the way, every time I see your screen name/avatar, I can't help but think, "Hi...not you. Hi."

Or we could encase our phones in concrete and when we need to make a call we bust out very small pieces of c4. Maybe it's time to go back to those old shitty flip phones that once were the beez kneez.
