Just watched a video pertaining to photos that are shared through cells to social media sites are now able to be manipulated into showing the gps of the person(s) in the photos and all information pertaining to that person's identity.
I turned off the gps ability on my cell to insure that could not happen to me..
But are we safe?
My home PC is protected by a firewall, router and by IT GEEK of a hubby.
But what about all of the other devices in your home or workplace that are reliant on a wireless connection?
There is a video about a baby monitor being hacked and how that hacker is tormenting a child through the use of baby monitor. SCARY!
My question is: Could any camera that is using a wi-fi signal to transmit images be manipulated?
The answer is YES!
Street cameras
Laptop cameras
Web cams
Baby monitor with cameras
Home security cameras
The list goes on and on.....
On a personal side note:
Our baby monitor was analog and i was able to listen to my neighbors phone conversations....
My laptop camera, i thought was off , was making a clicking sound every time i opened it...I put black tape to cover the camera and disable the damn thing.....
In November of last yea, in my State, The Department of Revenue was hack and 4 million residents personal information was taken.....now have to have all of our personal identity watched and protected for years to come...
If this is what is it like to live in the 21st century, I do not want to live in this "NEW" century.....unplug me please!
