Hardware Kill Switches

There is an increasing threat of cameras and microphones being used to spy on you.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Leaked documents have shown plans from the NSA to infect “millions” of computers with malware called CAPTIVATEDAUDIENCE (which turns a computer’s microphone into a bug) and GUMFISH (which turns your camera into a spycam). Such attacks will only become more common in the future.

We decided to stop these types of attacks entirely: with switches that physically sever the circuit to the microphone and camera. Try hacking that!
