I just had to look at this,,,,,,where is casper

CIA hacking routers is the least of my worries, you have what is called WAR drivers going around neighbor hoods breaking into the WiFi of homes to steel from the computer and I.D. theft and some cases using the WiFi to shut down home security devices or they just make a sport of it, at home here not a major issue, in town another story. I have nothing in my emails or on my computer to be a threat to National Security, I don't like it and believe it to be wrong though I operate this stuff knowing it may be monitored. I should put a note in my computer stipulating that I reserve all rights to my pictures and notes etc...

i don't understand any of this techy stuff, they arent going to find anything interesting in my emails- mostly my missus telling me when she is returning from a family get together, very boring.

Sometimes I just wish they would stop by and ask me instead of snooping if they see something questionable I have posted though they better be coffee drinkers!

Maybe we should have paid more attention to Orwell's 1984.

Every home had a telescreen that couldn't be shut off...and monitored every aspect of a person's life.

This story about the routers scares me.

 

[bigpaul]

only if I was planning an attack, AND I'M NOT-I want to make that plain.

I have no interest in hurting anyone and/or doing anything illegal, but it's the idea of the thing.

I don't value privacy because I'm scared of people knowing my secrets...I value privacy for its own sake, and I am an intensely private person.

I compare privacy to modesty.

We all know what naked human bodies look like, but we generally don't walk around nude in public. We cover our bodies (in part, but let us--for a moment--disregard other reasons like cold weather or protection from the environment) because of modesty, not because we think our bodies are a secret that should be concealed.

I feel the same way about the government invading my computer traffic.

It's not that I have anything to hide, it just makes me feel like I'm standing around naked in front of a buch of government strangers.

I don't always communicate well, but I hope everyone can see my point even if some people don't agree with me.

Things certainly heading that way in more ways than one

We are caged, we just don't see the bars nor do people know or understand Freedom is by permission slip only in a modern democracy!

Im not overly concered with Feds or others prying into my cyber activities . I often give enough info making a point in a single post that some tech savy person could know who i am and with little trouble . Anyone that thinks what happens online stays online are being a bit naive. And i dont say anything online that i don't say in conversations face to face everyday . Did we not have atleast 1 member here a couple years ago that said he was a Federal agent of some sort ?

I don't really believe there is privacy anymore. I'm assuming everything I write here is permanent and being read by everyone. Like most people here I have nothing to hide. It's not like I'm doing anything illegal or like I pose a threat to anyone.

I vaguely remember that though I took it with a grain of salt, I never known a Federal Agent(s) to disclose themselves on any online media officially or unofficially that may at a point be investigated such as DDPF through specific member(s) activity.

SUPPOSEDLY, the NSA planted an employee at a large networks security firm a few years back for the purpose of engineering a backdoor into the company's firewall product that winds up in a lot of routers. That way, the NSA could snoop wherever they want.

Problem with that is a LOT of companies use that firewall product..... nothing is safe on the web.

Kind of like big brother watching everything. Big surprise there.

Edit to add: if the NSA knows how to go through a back door in a firewall, you can bet your butt that everyone else does as well. That is a big concern, considering that 95% of your medical info is stored somewhere on the cloud, if not more. Our gubmint saw to that years ago. I don't just mean that gassy episode in 2011, I mean your identification info.

we are monitored prolly on every level,key words and stuff like that alerts big-bro..

It may have been S Bob saying what he use to do for a living .
Big brother listening in is not new . It predates the telegraph .

Bob not the one I was thinking of, The guy I was thinking of was from Michigan who had the same claim on several forums a couple of years ago maybe longer who claimed to be part of a counter terrorism task force with the Bureau. He then vanished :-/

 

[bigpaul]

i bet he did!!

 

[Maverick]

He was a member of one of the LEO forums and got slammed pretty hard if I remember right and haven't seen him around since not even on here.
