Is someone watching you on your webcam or phone camera?

Hackers have more tricks than you can imagine. Many hackers use them to snatch your personal data and accounts. However, a really scary hack involves using your own cameras to watch you around the clock.

I'm talking about webcams, security cameras and even your smartphone or tablet camera. Hackers can break into these with a virus or by exploiting a security hole. Even amateur hackers can figure it out with a simple online search.

Just this last week, there was a problem with Flash in Google Chrome. It let hackers make invisible Flash objects on webpages. If you clicked on one, it would give the hacker full access to your webcam and microphone!

Google fixed the problem fairly quickly, but it just proves how easily hackers can take control.

Once a hacker controls your cameras, they can do whatever they want. There are horror stories of hackers capturing intimate pictures and video of their victims. They use these to force the person into doing what they want. In the worst cases, they take pictures of kids.

Cameras are in most gadgets now, which makes it tough to avoid them. You have to take your security into your own hands. I'll tell you how you can fight back against peeping hackers and protect your privacy.
