INSTEAD OF TAPING YOUR LAPTOP'S MICROPHONE, TRY THIS TO KEEP HACKERS OUT.

-
Covering your laptop microphone with tap will do nothing, here's what you should do instead!!

While covering your webcam is definite strategy to keep away webcam hackers, but if you wish to protect your microphone, you will have to be just a little extra creative.

It's quite simple. All you need to do is make your PC deaf to give hackers the run-around.

Just join an ear-buds that holds an microphone into your 3.5mm audio jack, then cut-off the earbud with the mic on it --- often the proper one --- slightly below the mic.

Once you plug-in the earbuds with built-in mic, your PC automatically changes the default audio input from the interior mic to the new external mic. Also, when you the line to the microphone, the PC doe's not go back to the default interior mic, and it can't receive any audio from the exterior mic.

However, it's possible to hacker to to switch the input audio back to internal mic, if they have complete control over your computer. But, in case they are running an automated program, they will probably only pick-up whatever is currently set to default.

This how you can provide higher security level to your PC.
