That has been going on for a while they just got caught. ANY device that has the capability of recorded pics or sound can be altered or hacked to accommodate so called spying, and it's a lot more wide spread than you think.

My cell phone gets what I call ghost calls from unassigned numbers that I can't call back.

If your phoned is pinned then the only way one can safely have it is take the battery out, and if a person is in the league then it's old news.

I watched a report about people hacking into the electronics of your vehicle. They can literally take over control. In this report they had a guy hack into a car that was being driven on a track. He counted down and pushed a button on his laptop and slammed on the brakes of the car. Now that is some scary s$&t my friend.

Scarier was that they could also disable the brakes.

But that's only if you have the Bluetooth/On Star service. My car is dumb and doesn't talk to anyone.

I already knew my Tahoe was smarten than me but I wasn't afraid of it before. Now it can hurt me too? Time to trade in for something a little older maybe
