FBI has locked my computer

Are you serious? :wow:

 

great the cops got a child porner... but I have to ask what the fuck is illegal about throwing your computer out?? Unless the pron was printed ? Then to hell with his rights and 50yrs in ClubFedFuckHimInTheAssPrison. :crackhead:

 

And you know this, how??

 

My workin' buddy decided that it would be kind of funny to rename his wireless network and his house. He has it set up as a secure network and all of that, but when you live in a neighborhood with other houses and have a wireless router, your neighbors can still see the network, they just can't access it. The name of his network is.................FBI surveillance van!

 

Doyle tipped him off.

you aren't alone

 

This is interesting. Not doubting you, but I haven't heard of that kind of malware manipulating web cams before.

 

The last paragraph of that article is interesting. I guess my wifey was telling the truth.



But in asking my computer consultant friend if his “victims” were active downloaders, he said no, in general not. And in fact he said two customers think they got the virus through a legitimate “Pet Rescue” website.

 

pretty old news actually

 

Death by drive-by, NBC was compromised last week and passing out the malware to visitors. It's the news and ad servers that are going to get you.

 

Don't doubt that, but still... I've heard of them stealing feeds and posting it and whatnot, but to actually "go live" and communicate with a victim I haven't heard of.

 

Yep, easiest way for them to do it really. Hit the ad servers and every site that pulls in content from the ad servers becomes a distro point.

That particular piece of malware might not be able to. But if the code is written properly, they could easily do so once their malware is on the PC.

 

And how many people would they have to have in order to "watch" all the infected computers?

 

I read it wrong. I thought poster was implying they actually were seeing her and telling her such.

The FBI scam that popped up on my girl had a webcam picture of you as well. Believe it.

 

My wife got a similar thing on her computer back in 2009 shortly after we moved to Germany. It freaked us out for a minute because it looked all official with German flags and shit and the only thing we could understand was pay 250 Euro's. Then I used google translate on another computer to find out what it actually said. Something about "you've been caught looking at kiddie porn pay 250 Euro's and we will forgive you". I was like yeah right...

They do bust people for downloading movies here though. I think it's like 100 Euro's per movie and you can't fight it you just gotta pay up. A couple of guys at work have been caught.
