the PC or laptop microphone? Does disabling the sound card remove the availability of a built-in microphone? What if I want to play mp3s but never have the need to use a microphone? Given recent info about the US FBIs capabilities to remotely enable mobile phone microphones (presumably via corporate cellular service providers), what prevents my OS provider (or distribution) and ISP from working on a way to listen in on my office or home conversations via the microphone or the built-in speakers? Thoughts?
It should be easy to destroy the microphone physically. - Sebastian _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
