Lode Posted November 11, 2014 Hi! Recently I saw that websites can use our webcam and microphone without our knowledge. Adobe Flash Player settings seem to determine if we allow that or not. Here is where I found information on this: "Adobe Flash, The Spy in Your Computer – Part 1" http://www.welivesecurity.com/2010/10/06/adobe-flash-the-spy-in-your-computer-part-1/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuiltySpark Posted November 11, 2014 Yep its possible but Flash Player has never been great at security. Which is why I uninstalled it from CP and just use HTML5 in browsers which is long overdue in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lode Posted November 18, 2014 Thank you. I found some more information on this issue here: "How to Stop Web Sites from Potentially Listening to Your Microphone" http://lifehacker.com/how-to-stop-web-sites-from-potentially-listening-to-you-1507692091 I surf sandboxed by default, and got this response on the Sandboxie forum: "There are no templates in Sandboxie that you can select that will allow Flash cookies to be saved outside of the sandbox.If you wanted to allow Flash cookies to be saved (and I know that you do not), you would have to go out of your way to create a setting that would allow it." http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=19850&p=104677&hilit=Adobe+Flash#p104677 So I'm not worried about this anymore.
