The Washington Times reported yesterday, October 2, 2012, that, “New software uses smartphone camera for spying

.”According to the article:

“[R]esearchers from the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center have developed malicious software that can remotely seize control of the camera on an infected smartphone and employ it to spy on the phone’s user,” going on to read, “The malware, dubbed “PlaceRaider,” “allows remote hackers to reconstruct rich, three-dimensional models of the smartphone owner’s personal indoor spaces through completely opportunistic use of the camera,” the researchers said in a study published last week.”

This kind of technology is rather unnerving, especially considering how this technology, coupled with its ability to use your smart phone camera to look into your house, has the potential to “steal virtual objects [visible to the camera] … such as as financial documents [or] information on computer monitors,” the researchers reported.”

Our current political climate strongly provides a reason to believe the government will use this new app to increase their Big Brother spying arsenal.

The Big Brother spying does not end there. Click Orlando reported that “Lake County considers ‘trash-cams’ at school cafeterias,” with a sub-headline that reads, “Officials say federal law requires veggies on menu, but students toss them.”

A surveillance camera for school trash cans, along with the new camera spying, is making the United States further its decent into the perfect dystopian society.
