Security → Re: Using computer's internal microphone for overhearing

Yeah! What internal microphone?

I have no internal mic that I know of. If there's one on my MOBO it's well hidden.

We'll go back to "What the Hell, internal mic?".

Every late model notebook I have seen has an internal microphone. I also have recently seen both CRT and LCD monitors with built-in microphones, so I suspect that many desktop systems also arguably have internal microphones (internal to the monitor) as well. The ubiquitous Macromedia flash player browser add-in has the ability to turn on local microphones and cameras from a web site, so actually implementing it is not so far fetched or difficult (for Google, or the FBI, or the NSA).

Vintage - Aug 2004 VGN-A190 laptop... no mic.
I have to use my webcam for a mic to even voice chat.

Vintage 2001? PCG-FXA63... no way it has a mic!

Maybe when I purchase a new laptop... not any time soon though. Both VAIOs working as new still!
