Confirming that the United States' spy agencies do use hardware that
establishes radio links to someone's computer, without their knowledge, in
order to gain access to it, "The New York Times" published yesterday an
article denouncing some of this capabilities.

Which adds to the suspicion, raised by an article linked to in this forum,
before, that some of the new hardware being sold to the general public might
indeed already include this type of "spy hardware" by default:

Concerning the general market, my original source for this, I've just
learned, was already talking about this a decade ago(!):

(Which is not surprising, given the fact that the use of this technology, in
specific intelligence operations, has already been denounced, by another
source of mine, in the year 2000:

Again... Freeing your computer in terms of software, is not enough.
And we should pay /very close/ attention also to the *hardware* that we use.
