Guess what? People can actually spy on you without the light indicator on because the software is so advanced. Well, according to what this girl shared on facebook. So for you guys that missed the note I shared on fb, please stick something on your webcam when you're not using it. Seriously, it's better to be safe than be sorry.
I'm gonna copy and paste the note over here so that you guys could read it :)
Hey girls,
I've just heard some very horrifying stuff from my boyfriend.
I'm sure you've heard of a software that can hack into your computer while you are connected to a wireless network and turn on your webcam? He has seen it with his own eyes. Such a software really does exist !!!! (He actually watched a guy watching his computer through that person's webcam !!! @.@)
Yes, girls. It really does happen !
This software allows the person to have access to all the IP addresses connected to the wireless network at that moment, and he can slowly, meticulously, click on each IP address, one by one by one, till he comes to one which he likes. Maybe you're changing in the comfort of your room, or just going topless cos it's hot today. Well, he can watch you, and you might never know. And the software is so advanced, that the little light next to your webcam that tells you it's turned on, will NOT light up !!!! So you will NEVER know if it's actually on. Once he's watching you through your webcam from his computer, he can even RECORD a video of you.
You know what is worse? The IDIOT who created this software has now uploaded it to the internet. Which means that ANYONE, ANYWHERE, can now DOWNLOAD that software. For free.
That one person who discovered this software online and downloaded it, is gonna tell his friends, and his friends are gonna tell THEIR friends. Girls, I'm serious. It's already happened. >.<
So please be extra careful in your private rooms while the computer is on and connected online. To be safe, stick a sticker over your webcam. Double stick it with masking tape, a piece of paper, cardboard, whatever. Anything to block the vision from your webcam when you're not using it.
I wouldn't warn you about this if my boyfriend hadn't seen it with his own eyes and worriedly warned ME about it. It's real, girls. Please do something about it. And warn other girl friends about this. Let's protect and safeguard our dignity !!! T.T
p.s: There are some really SICK guys out there !!!!!!!!!!!
