I copy and paste this from TV3 News Sec.

Harga Alat Pengesan Murah
(Selasa, August 7, 2007 - Buletin Utama TV3)

Semalam Bletin Utama membongkar modus operandi licik pencuri komputer riba di sekitar ibu kota.

Antara puncanya alat pengesan itu banyak dijual secara terbuka dengan harga serendah 49 ringgit.

Dan penguatkuasaan yang longgar beri laluan kepada peniaga menjual peralatan  yang dilarang kerana imbasan mampu mencecah sehingga tiga kilometer.

Visual ini dirakamkan sekitar Jalan Pasar dan Pudu Kuala Lumpur.

Tinjauan rambang kami bagaimanapun menemukan sesuatu yang mengejutkan.

Tiga kedai menjual pelbagai jenis alat pengesan dan alat gantinya serta pengimbas.

Alat pengesan yang dijual bukan sekadar mampu mengesan sebuah komputer tetapi dengan frekuensi  50 megaherz hingga 6 gigaherz ia mampu membuka kata laluan.

Dan alat itu boleh berfungsi dari jarak 1.5 hingga 3 kilometer.

Pengguna telefon bimbit dengan kemudahan  bluetooth pula perlu berwaspada kerana alat yang digunakan itu membolehkan penggunanya mencuri dengar perbualan.

Termasuk kemudahan yang dilengkapi wi fi.

Tetapi ada cara menghindarinya.

Saya nasihatkan tindan barang tu dengan satu keping tudung periuk ke taruk dalam periuk ke. Itu standard dengan itu maka gelombang itu akan pecah boleh read tapi tak tau ape jenis barang.

Beliau turut mencadangkan kawasan tempat letak kereta dilengkapi alat mematikan sistem pengesan.

Kita nama safe park tapi bila guna jammer tapi tak leh pakai hand phone sebab dia lock frekuensi kalo tv3 ambil dan kereta elektronik tak leh start tapi benda ni bukan satu masalah dia ada range frekuensi bila tau range modul apa digunakan so kita jurus kepada frekuensi tu jer. Barang dia pun seiring dengan pembangunan sains dan teknologi, mereka kini lebih bijak mengatur modus operandi melakukan jenayah. Walau apapun cubaan mereka, langkah berjaga-jaga dan keselamatan adalah relevan bagi menangkis segala kemungkinan.

Damn bloody carpack security guards sleeping ar? Whats all the CCTV Camera's for then? Like that another Canny Ong case can just happen again.

I was thinking, regarding the detection thingy, is it these shaddy individuals are lingering around the carparks looking to see if there are people taking lappies from the car's Cabin and putting it into the boot? This way they can see the item without needing a detector. I tried telling my friend like what some of you mentioned earlier, Leave the lappie in the car's cabin under the seat or something instead of having to get out and put it into the boot.

Also, is it local Malaysian cars such as PROTON and PERODUA are more prone to this as the locking mechanism is simple unlike the continental/imported cars and is just there for the sake of keeping the boot lid closed? Like that might as well put your own padlock with key like Mr. Beans car and they'll have to come with a metal cutter....

Interesting discussion. Do brainstorm and post more.....

lol so laptop detector device does not exist?

What about putting a kingsiton lock when u leave the notebook in car? But this might piss off the thief, end up cermin pecah

With all due respect, I think the entire thing is simply bulls**t. When a laptop is off, it is off. Have u ever seen ur microwave turn itself on and heat the air inside by itself?

Metal detector? Your car itself is a huge pile of metal and of different kinds inside and outside, the detector would be ringing like a fire alarm the moment it was turned on.
Wave frequencies? Specifically your WiFi 802.11a/b/g? When it's off, it's off. These frequencies are alot more than your simple AM/FM radios mind you. HOWEVER,there is a single mistake in Ij0000's post regarding the part that car boots shield your waves, no it does not shield your wave. Explain how people can hijack/ride on your house Wireless connection in their car? If these waves can be received from inside your car, the same applies for people outside your car meaning they can also detect your waves emitting from inside your car if you're using Wireless no matter if you're in the driver's seat or the boot. So yes, if you leave your laptop on in the car, it is possible to detect waves, though with a gadget as cheap as rm40 is quite impossible, maybe with a gadget costing in the hundreds to thousands.
I think that some sections of the public are just making it up, but NOT with bad intentions. They ultimate message is just to practice caution, and they just use a story of a high tech gadget to make ppl more aware. Inaccurate warning though with good intentions I'd say.

hopefully government will take action on this....
