FBI can hear every conversation in Android phones

No comments :
After the case when Eric Snowden had published informationthat the National Security Agency eavesdrops your list ofcalls through a U.S. government program called PRISM, nowhas new media reports which say that the FBI has gonebeyond this form of surveillance , as the same has created asoftware that can activate the microphone of your Androidphone or your personal laptop, at any time, to your tapping.
According to a new report by the Wall Street Journal saidthat the FBI now has the technology and tapping some new tools with which you can remotely activate the microphone ofyour phone or laptop.
However, activation of these new methods of surveillancedoes not require that you are talking on the phone to betapped, as this is possible even when you're not on the phone.
This gives the FBI access to personal conversations you havewith another person, while the U.S. agency can all hear your conversation even if you're not too close to the phone.
But luckily, even though it constitutes a serious breach ofprivacy, much more serious than that carried out by the NSA,the FBI intercepts its target criminals, not civilians and law-abiding citizens.
