Men watching women by using their victims’ own webcams. (desktop, laptops, monitor)

[elnina]

Someone is watching you pick your nose ( and more ) via webcam & sharing it with fellow creepers.
And that’s not all — there are forums dedicated to cataloging lists of what many of the ratters call "slaves", and the photos, information and other tidbits they have culled from their victims.
After you read this be prepared to feel like showering immediately after placing tape across the webcam lens.

How can I determine if a secret webcam has been sneaked into my monitor? As far as I know, I don't have one in my desktop flat screen, but I think nearly all laptops have one. If they are going to sneak it in there without my knowledge or consent, it is not likely that it would be conspicuously obvious.

You can't add a webcam inside a monitor remotely, nor can you add a webcam to someone's computer remotely, it is physical hardware.

And that is exactly why I have a piece of tape over the lens.

I remember BackOrifice well, when it came out I tricked some co-workers to get it installed on their systems and had some fun....

if they ever came across my webcam they'd probably be the ones who need the shower
