@Run_to_da_hills - Yellow Dots of Mystery: Is Your Printer Spying on You?

Comments

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    This has been know about for sometime.
    I have reported this on my website since last March.
    All major printer manufactures are doing this in co-operation with MI5, MI6, FBI, CIA, etc.
    This is well, well known and written about on the net and in printed media.
    Its a way of tracking and proving a printer to paper and an owner.

    Yellow Fever , all printers get it.
    You will have to destroy it............


    All you do is follow the bin lorry the next time it comes to your area, throw it in and run.
    Binmen throw a blind eye for 50 euro.

    Doesn't really affect me or you though (Unless you are spreading some terrorist leaflets)

    I mean, my name and address is at the top of my CV anyways!
    On your head?

    Oh yeah! I looked everywhere cept up. Thought They might have compromised it for a minute...

    Is it me, or does the guy behind him, didn't catch the name, look like Beeker from the muppets? Watch the first minute again and look at the guy's mouth.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's all true and what's more the NWO-CIA-FBI-NBC alliance are gettin even more brazen! I printed out a page from Internet Explorer a minute ago and the time and date I printed it and the URL of the website I was printing were right there at the top and bottom of the page!!! Right there in black and white! They're not even trying to hide it behind yellow dots any more. And another thing, it says "page 3 of 5" at the top so now when the Feds are going through my bins and find only 4 sheets, they'll know there's one missing and they'll come looking for the other one! :eek: Wake up sheeple. Rabble etc.

    Actually probably longer than 3 years. I remember seeing this on some sort of crime drama tv show ages ago. Not the specifics just the ability to tell where a printed page had come from. Afaik this was never a secret?

    When colour photocopiers appeared in the 80'ies they were prohibitively expensive, If you had to get anything done you had to be carried out by staff, there was no self service. There was fears that driving licenses, pass ports, event tickets, cash etc would be counterfeited.

    When they brought in new measures like watermarking, holograms etc it removed the threat. This is one of the reasons they wanted to make laser printers traceable.

    Is it a bad thing if this is true?
    Wouldn't it make it easier to find the source of potential ransom notes, death threats, Terrorist threats, letters to the indo complaining about the Irish by crazy French women?

    I think these day most of this correspondence would be carried out on Email or mobile phones which is traceable by IP or GSM. Its called digital fingerprints. I wouldn't be surprised if the UK authorities issued new guidelines requiring CCTV and the use of photo ID to use internet cafés.

    The UK authorities are currently drafting in new security measures to register all IMEI and Sim cards with mobile phone service providers. You can be damn sure that Ireland will be forced to follow suit.

    they also have encryption in all word software. if you send a word document they can track it based on information contained within. A man in the US was tracked back through a computer he bought second hand.

    This is brilliant. RTDH and his trusty sidekick The Enforcer are back in action.. like Batman and Robin... except with tinfoil hats and an even deep homo-erotic theme.

    Same reason why people are stupid enough to make online purchases with their credit cards from public internet cafe's.

    Records of keys sequences that were pressed during an online purchase can be recorded and then backtracked giving scammers your password CVV code and credit card number through remote access. :eek:

    I saw two kids cycling down the street yesterday pulling the bins to the ground as they passed them...I was going to shout "Hey little bastards, stop knocking those bins down" but now that I realise that they were obviously doing it for the foxes well being I am glad I didn't.

    In future when this happens I am going to keep an eye out for the house owner and when they attempt to pick their bins up I am going to shout " Hey grown up bastards, you should have more sense."

    Experienced activists tend to target the black wheely bins outside restaurants and fast food joints. :D

    why not just leave the Foxes to eat the cats? tis the way of the world.

    I'm glad I kept that old carbon copier now, just in case I do decide to produce my Manifesto :)

    If you order replacement toner cartages on line from Viking Direct or if you have them scanned at a checkout using your laser or debit card the system will know the exact make and model of your old carbon copier.

    If you have purchased several cartages and reams of A4 the authoritiies may then suspect that you are mass producing illegal flyers for an up and coming demonstration and may raid your premiisis. :eek:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    they could raid the premisis, but they wont find anything, and there is no way they would Fcuk with the Wharfies and raid the container yard out the back of the office ;)

    The Stasi could identify who had typed a document by registering the idisyncrasies of each typewriter. (see The Lives of Others) They had nothing on this
