tech BS / was: Re: dual booting Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7

[Patrick Asselman]

If you have tried new installs and did so on multiple devices, you have 
to consider that the snooping does not happen on the device by means of 
the network. There may have been an intruder in your house who placed a 
small device between your keyboard and your computer, to snoop all 
keystrokes. (If you have a wireless keyboard this device may be hidden 
anywhere in your house.) There may be a pinpoint camera hidden in some 
object, so the snooper can peek at your screen. There may be someone 
across the street with a camera and a telelense snooping.

There may be private detective types out there who can help you with 
things like that. They probably know what is available, how they would 
approach this, and that makes them better suited to detect such devices.

Another thing to consider doing is taking a step away from the digital 
world. If you have photos on a disk, store them on a usb stick and keep 
it in your pocket. Print the pictures and store them in a bank vault. 
Use your PC only for non-sensitive stuff, and realise that anything you 
do on your PC will be compromised. (I.e. only use it for some simple 
browsing etc).

Just my $0.02
