Kinect? Pshh. The FBI can use any Android phone as a listening device any time it wants, new report.

[Ayo]

Whenever someone mmentioned the always on Kinect I always ask them how they feel about their cell phone.

Turns out I was right.

People familiar with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's programs say that the use of hacking tools under court orders has grown as agents seek to keep up with suspects who use new communications technology, including some types of online chat and encryption tools. The use of such communications, which can't be wiretapped like a phone, is called "going dark" among law enforcement.

The FBI develops some hacking tools internally and purchases others from the private sector. With such technology, the bureau can remotely activate the microphones in phones running Google Inc.'s Android software to record conversations, one former U.S. official said. It can do the same to microphones in laptops without the user knowing, the person said. Google declined to comment.

The bureau typically uses hacking in cases involving organized crime, child pornography or counterterrorism, a former U.S. official said. It is loath to use these tools when investigating hackers, out of fear the suspect will discover and publicize the technique, the person said.

Man they can do this on anybody's shyt not just android, but I do find it funny too that people make a big deal with the kinect being in their living room, like people stay in there all day, when they keep their phone with them pretty much 24/7, if its about the kinect watching then throw a cloth over the camera, shyt still works, that want the lady was doing when she wanted the kinect to change who to focus on at the xbox lounge, but who am I kidding, these nikkas just want an excuse to join in on whats cool on the internet, which is hating on the X1 right now.

 

[Audible101]

This just makes the case for owing a kinect even worse. why would i ever put that surveillance camera in my living room. Oh they are already monitoring me through my laptop and phone? so putting a kinect won't make a difference? In my case i got like a 10 year old laptop this shyt ain't even got a camera or mic haha. So no video surveillance shall be going on in my house.

But hey if you got nothing to hide than why make a fuss? hahaha

I tried to tell these sony stans but they wouldnt listen

They have spy apps available to the public that do the same thing so of course the government has the same or better spy tech

And its not just android phones, they can spy on you with any phone that has a cam, mic, or gps (which is damn near every phone nowadays) and you dont even have to be using your phone for them to watch or listen to you

But of course no one really cares about this, they just use the spy shyt to hate on kinnect cause it fits their agenda

Yes, so many cats on here act like they be doing so much dirt at home, when in reality if they are gonna be doing dirt and let's say all the lies and bullshyt is true and someone wanted to track them. With shyt like this dealing with your phone all the LAW has to do is just track your movements to locations and then get you when you actually out and about getting that "work" done and compromising all your people's too

 

[Liquid]

They have pretty much been able to do this since the first cell phone was ever released, you guys are just delusional in thinking this is a recent trend. If they had a good reason to track you...they would.

It's really that simple.

Yep cellphone pings were used to help jam Aaron Hernandez up.

 

[marcuz]

i guess it's a good thing they dont have a device that'll monitor you in your home anytime they choose via hd cam and mic--oh wait

 

[marcuz]

lol at nikkas doing dirt only to get caught talking about it infront of kinect

I guess when you stop being a broke bastid and you get real money, will you put security cameras around your mansion?
Every other person with a mansion has that, and turns on/off there homes lights/stuff via smartphones n shyt
But now I'm talking from a level you can't relate too

In 6months or so, those Google Glasses come out. People are already concerned, but will gladly embrace the breach of privacy. If you have a facebook account, you have given them all they need to see (Word to Trayvon the Gangsta)
If you have an email with your name in it, then its attached to your phone? They already following your every step. Kinect tho, thats how they'll getcha
