Is it possible for hackers to turn on your PC, cell phone, laptop, Ipad, when it is turned off?
Can hackers listen in on your phone conversations? Can they view your activity on your devices unbeknownst to you?

@seotelkniwt Manually turning off the device isn't enough for "true" security if your it's been breached. It could be turned back on by a hacker, and in many cases turned back on in a way that it doesn't look like it's on at all. You'd have to remove power - so battery in a laptop or unplug for a desktop.
That's not a level of security most people would ever need to worry about, to be honest.
