Holy Cow!

A well-known privacy advocate has exposed the National Security Agency's personal spy gear. Security expert and blogger Jacob Appelbaum showed off the NSA's tools at the Chaos Communications Conference in Hamburg, Germany. One device could let the NSA see from a distance what is being typed on a keyboard, even if its disconnected from the internet. Another can tamper with WiFi signals from a distance of eight miles. Applebaum says the NSA has software that it can insert on iPhones to enable eavesdropping using both the camera and microphone. He tells the conference the NSA capabilities are worse than your worse nightmares.
