Few days back l discussed
here, the dangers of leaving your webcam open
Even when your laptop is
turned off, hackers can still track your activities with your webcam, so for
security reasons it’s a good practice to always cover your webcam.
Not so long ago, Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts were compromised bringing back the focus on best
practices for Internet security.
Zuckerberg of course must have switched to a
stronger password, but a picture on social media has reveals some other
security practices that Zuckerberg is employing to keep his personal data safe.
In a picture posted soon after
Instagram hit 500 million monthly active users, Zuckerberg is seen sitting at
his desk with an Instagram frame placard thanking users for the support. On his
desk lie his MacBook and other things, and Chris Olson was the first one to
notice that Zuckerberg had taped his webcam and microphone on his MacBook, in a
bid to keep hackers at bay.
Sophisticated hackers could look
into Zuckerberg's laptop through the audio and camera hardware, getting crucial
information. Zuckerberg, in true Indian jugaad-style, has gone ahead and
duct-taped the hackers out. Genius.
This was first reported by Gizmodo, and the report aptly noted
that Zuckerberg's behaviour is quite ironical as Facebook makes money off
user's collected data every day. The report also claims that the desk is most
definitely his, as a live video walkthrough through the office some months ago,
Zuckerberg himself had claimed this desk as his own.
Zuckerberg recently also did a live Q&A for one hour, a first
from the Facebook headquarters. He answered many user questions, and touched
upon topics around VR, artificial intelligence, upcoming features on Facebook,
and much more. He even put a pin in the Reptilian Conspiracy, and announced
that he is not a lizard.
