What exactly is Mic-Lock protecting me from? Other people plugging into my headphone port without me realizing?Updated 9 months ago

Mic-Lock protects your device from audio hacking and eavesdropping.

In other words, Mic-Lock stops any bad actors from listening to your device without your knowledge.

1. Does Mic-Lock safeguard against remote hackers attempting to access my microphone, or is its primary function to block physical tampering with the audio input?
2. Is the main purpose of Mic-Lock to prevent unauthorized physical connections to my device's microphone port, or does it also offer protection from software-based eavesdropping?
3. How does Mic-Lock contribute to my privacy? Is it mainly defending against someone directly connecting to my device's audio port, or does it also block digital surveillance attempts?
