Do I need to cover my mic and webcam???

Do I need to cover my mic and webcam???

cam, yes
mic, tape wont do shit. drill that fucker out, wires and all or turn gain right down in the settings.

Or just install Linux Mint

...

What excatly does the photo supposed to represent? Are you retarded or pic not related?

The mic and camera are covered on the laptop retard

I do the same with cams on front of my devices.

It took me a second too but it shows that Zuckerberg has his webcam and mic covered with tape on his laptop.

Maybe because he's more likely to be hacked than the average Sup Forums user.

That makes more sense. Also he's using proprietary software.

Isn't he just being paranoid?

no, because litorally no one in this world gives a fuck about your existence.

Thanks, that is comforting to know.

Any person with decent hacking skills or enough money, can get to you, tape or no tape.
But the truth is - you a lot less interesting than you think you are.

I am a webcam model.... there have been a few guys that have been obsessed with me before.

Why do people do this? Not trolling, just genuinely curious.

If this is true how come more celeb info and nudes aren't leaked. Seriously ffs hackers you bunch of cunts. Leak Katy Perrys nudes already.

I don't know. I was thinking it was just paranoia, then after readi a little. It's actually possible for people to view your webcam and listen through mic...

Maybe they do this too... thus preventing the hackers.

NO ONE CARES.

lol this happens to women who don't whore out their bodies. this is not new.

Obsessed people have neither skills nor money. Nothing to fear from them.

Because celebs have their own security guys on a payroll.

Change the settings in the BIOS and disable the camera and microphone. Problem solved, impossible for anyone to hack even if they hacked your computer, they can't get to the BIOS settings remotely.

Isn't tape method simpler and faster?

Security for phone?

Hehe yea but i mist look leet

BIOS settings is fast. Restart the computer holding whatever key it is for your computer, see the settings, disable camera and microphone. Doesn't get any simpler than that and it's 100% effective. Tape does nothing.

>i mist look leet
Your wrong about BIOS. How do you think people overclock and kill your stuff by RAT?

That's not the point. Then if you're convinced you will be rooted, a fucking piece of tape won't do shit.

And how am i supposed to talk on teamchat with my bf1 mates you worthless junk of meat?

Who cares if somebody is spying on you?

>a fucking piece of tape won't do shit
Yes it will. It will prevent them from seeing me fappin and later blackmailing me.

Most of the guys in the security group at work do this on our work laptops. Not due to any possible hack, but because we know the capabilities of the monitoring software installed on our business machines. I don't mind them watching me work on the machine, but since I'm remote, if I want to take a few minutes to rub one out while watching porn on my own personal machine, I'd rather they not.

They can still hear you through the microphone.

Hi shill.

They did that to me too. I just ignored it and i hope its over now. But since then zero friends and nada :''''((((

there was a black mirror episode about this.

lol I don't understand how you can blackmail someone with "nudes" or a video of them fapping. holy shit we all do it, who the fuck cares? leak it. nobody will give a shit a week later.

>blackmailing me
>Kiss me or I'll tell your mama you touch your peepee when she's away.

Also, if they've successfully hacked your webcam anyway, you have other problems to deal with.

Got you. There you go just stay there i will be there in 2 minutes

You're not very creative if you can't figure out ways to gain an upperhand on someone with videos/audio of them jerking off. Here's one thing, I could spread it around your social media, or at your school, or your job. This is just a direct way to fuck with someone's life. Not very preferential don't you THINK?

Of course you are steve

that lil [spoiler]pedo[spoiler] fag had it coming, lmao the ending of that episode was the best, "what did you do *fags name*"

This. Like keylogging for one. That means they know all of your passwords.

how does he work without internet?

its ironic how the owner of the most surveilant networking site is scared of being survailed

Yeah, I've had my camera app on my computer just open on it's own before. Scared the crap out of me so I closed everything right away. I've also have a relative that had it take a picture and threaten to email everyone they know their picture with something to black mail them. A friend's kid that I know had her iphone camera take a picture of her and email it out to some unknown address. The picture wasn't anything nude or incriminating but it could have been.

Lol ;)

He just knows facebook is crap

I honestly don't give a fuck, lmao woop dee doo! The only thing time I cover my cam is when I jack it, the rest of the time idgaf, let them look at my willy while I undress and change.

I dunno what kind of fucked up shithole you're from that a video of you fapping would ruin your life but most people don't give a flying fuck about that kind of shit.

>gobmint alphabet soup agency can remotely turn on your cam to spy at you
>can turn on your mic to listen to convos

Only plebs lave their cameras uncovered and only the most flaming of faggots post their face on "faces of /b" threads. This is a honey pot board.

> or turn gain right down in the settings.

How the fuck will that stop someone from programmatically turning it back up?

That's Mark Zuckerberg

If I would have as much money as he has I would tape my macbooks too

On the other hand nobody wants to see or hear you fapping

>fucked up shithole you're from
The US. Most reasonable people realize that videos of them jerking off being spread around their inner circle and outer circle isn't preferable.

oh no way user!!!
i thought that was John Travolta

Hello, this is anonymous.
We have hacked all of your webcams

Isn't it Benedict Clumbapatch?

lolno. Well, I guess it depends on your social status and job. But for an average Joe it won't mean anything.

For the average Sup Forums?

Most "hacks" are just virusus and those are aquired by going to nasty websites.
So I would argue the afarage Sup Forums user is way more likely to be hacked

sometimes is irony even unnecessary

kys

Average Sup Forums will himself send videos of him masturbating, fucking a dog, peeing on a snail and eating shit to all of his friends and relatives.

pics or it didnt happen steve

Distributing malicious software is not as easy as you may think. It is always targeted at certain audience. No one's interested in targeting Sup Forums.

Tape on mic does nothing. on the webcam however, is very effective.

Did you know the NSA has technology to analyze microphone audio for keystrokes?

Also, as I've already said:
See:

Yes, you have more problems but not solving one because you can't solve the rest is basement dweller mindset

Tape does nothing. Only disabling the BIOS settings will do the most, the least if you're actually a target.

I didn't know NSA had that but if they do that's a ridiculous invasion of privacy.

The US is too fucking sexually repressed.
Glad i live in Europe.

You really don't know how cameras work do you?

With all the things the NSA has backdoors in don't you think they can access your webcam?
also how is a software solution better than a hardware one?

>> tape does nothing

Do you have a 5 gallon tinfoil hat by any chance?

Google "amendment rule 41" which was also passed very quietly and without resistance a few days ago for some more ridiculous invasion of privacy. Trump will inherit these new hacking powers.

Citation needed. Each key would have to produce a different sound to make anything of it

NSA employees are proven to have spread around nudes of numerous people. Google it.

Have cancer, AIDS, tape worms, IBS, syphilis, hip-c and so on... go bandage that scratch, don't be such a basement dweller.

>ad hominem
>straw man argument

>programtically

Then why do you think tape is the solution.

Stay dumb. Google it. If not, just stay dumb.

Actually you better not put a bandage on that so it can get air.

This is plain retard pretending to be retarded trolling you're doing. Think about your life for a moment

Because tape is a hardware solution only YOU have access to. Bios just isn't.

>This is plain retard pretending to be retarded trolling you're doing. Think about your life for a moment

If someone has hacked your webcam, you have way more problems than what you think.

ITT: shills

That's why bandages are not made out of solid rubber.

You start somewhere and work your way thru the rest. Or you just sit there and let it happen.

Seems to me like you're a bit of a basement dweller yourself

>zuck
More like cuck amirite

No, you work your way down, not up.

You start somewhere. tape on webcam is a very simple thing to start with

i somehow removed my camera program from my laptop, i cant even restore to factory settings to get it back lol

NSA can still access it tho

No. It's a stupid thing to start with. You start with determining your threat vectors, then possible vulnerabilities.

What would you start with then?

I'm pretty sure the "tape over webcam" meme is government propaganda. They even spread it around that Mark Zuckerberg and the FBI director puts tape over their webcams. Pure propaganda to fool retards.

That's not what my comment is about, I'm talking about the US being so sexually repressed that a nude will cost you your job.

You don't have to drill anything just unplug from motherboard. Same as camera. Or in my case camera light. Giggidy

Like I said - determining threats. What do I have to be afraid of?
Someone seeing me jerking off? Definitely not.
Someone stealing my bank account information, credit card numbers or encrypting my personal data followed by a ransom blackmail. That's more like it.
Can they do it through a cam? No. So, possible cam vulnerabilities are not something I have to be so obsessed with.

I honestly dont care.
Everybody faps.
Go ahead, post my nude pics.
I mean, I'd rather you didn't but at the end of the day I don't care that much
