You say this is not possible? Not so fast. A company out there is selling a product that it calls the Stealth iBot computer spy, that does this and a lot more. This program is installed off a USB device that looks just like a USB flash drive. The person who wants to spy on you just has to have access to your computer for about 5 seconds. Once the USB device is connected to your computer, it takes about 5 seconds for the programs on the device to be transferred to the PC and become active.
After that, these programs start capturing all your key strokes. That includes your user names and passwords. They take screenshots of your computer's monitor so that the perpetrator can see clearly what you are doing on the computer second by second. Listen in on all your chats, emails and other written communications. This is literally the key logger from hell! The mother of all key loggers!! Talk about a massive and stealthy invasion of your privacy!!!
The victim gets no indication whatsoever that his computer is under attack or surveillance. The software is too clever to be detected by almost any anti-spyware, anti-virus and other security software installed on most computers. All the perpetrator has to do to get all the information collected is to connect the USB device to the computer once more. All the recorded text and screenshots are copied back onto the USB device, and the perpetrator now has all your secrets. They can use the information to take over your identity on the web, or blackmail you. Don't tell me you weren't warned. Now you are!
This company also makes other products that would make most privacy advocates' skins crawl. The company's spy gear catalog includes all kinds of goodies such as the cell phone spy that reads even deleted SMS messages off cell phones, GPS tracking loggers that enable you to spy on somebody's movements, micro cameras that are hidden in sunglasses, caps, and other innocuous locations, etc.
And all of this is being hawked openly, in public. There is apparently no law against spying on others if you have enough money to do so. Do you want their passwords? No problem, just set up a keylogger on their computer without their knowledge. Want to know where they go? Put a GPS tracker on their vehicle. Want to know what happens in their bedroom in the darkness of night? No problem there too - just get a night vision security camera in there, and you are all set! What do you think? Is privacy or an expectation of privacy a quaint, out-dated notion? Sound off in the comments.
