It is not the Government that I am worried about, (OK I am) it is the fact that others could potentially use this device for nefarious activities. Don't tell me that they can't be hacked. Read about stuxnet... Anything can be hacked. |
That is the other I referred too and of course anything can be hacked that was sort of my point. If somebody already wants to find something out about YOU they will find a way. What you cite were not just some guy finding out things at random they were targeted attacks. Do you think that secrets were safe before the electronic age? No ears were placed to key holes? Letters were not read? Phone lines were not taped? I am just surprised to see so many people think that companies, hackers, government, etc feel that they have something being said important enough for the info to be valuable. You guys must lead some interesting lives since you have so many things to keep hidden. If Amazon wants to wade through millions of conversations to listen to my wife and I discuss the holes in my underwear they are welcome to the info.
I know that this is a contentious subject and I will not change anybody's thoughts but my opposing point of view is just as valid as anybody that falls for these conspiracy theories.
