Malware Turns PCs into Eavesdropping Devices

Hi guyss !!
how are you all !!
i am here again with a new topic !!

MALWARE TURNS PCs INTO EAVESDROPPING DEVICES 




Now let us see what is  Eavesdropping  :-Eavesdropping is secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent, as defined by Black's law dictionary ..
Eavesdropping can also be done over telephones lines, emails & other method of instant messaging considered private ( if suppose message is broadcast then it will be not private so it is not Eavesdropping .VoIp ((Voice over internet protocol)) communications software is also vulnerable to electronic eavesdropping via infections such as trojans.

Now we shall proceed to our topic :
 Israel have demonstrated Speaker(s) , malware that can turn computers into perpetual eavesdropping machines. By using speakers malware headphones which can easily & secretly be transformed  into pair of microphones.

According to researchers :  The fact is that Headphones, earphones and Speakers are physically made microphones and that of  an audio port's role in the computer / PCs  can be  reprogrammed from output to input that. creates a vulnerability likely  to be  abused by hackers.

A malware will be reconfigure the headphone jack from a line-out jack to a microphone jack while making the headphone function connection they are properly working after that as per of recording microphones and transforming the computer into Eavesdropping devices.
This whole system can also work when the computer does not have a connected microphones.

This is  the only reason why  people like  Facebook. Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg tap their mic& webcam  that you would tap the mic but would be unlikely to tape the headphones or speakers.
 If we see a typical computer contains no. of audio jacks  either in the front panel, rear or both. Each jack is used for either input (line-in), or for output (line-out). If an audio chipsets and modern  motherboards and sound cards with include and option for charging the function  of an audio port with software

This is all for today thank you!!!!
