What is webcam hacking?

Webcam hacking occurs when hackers gain access to the cameras on electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, CCTVs, baby monitors, home surveillance and home security systems, tablets, and PCs. Hackers then use this backdoor channel to your devices to gain complete control of your devices, steal information, or simply spy on you without your consent.

Should you be concerned about webcam spying?

A study conducted by the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland found that a hacker attack takes place every 39 seconds. With a record 200 billion devices estimated to be connected to the Internet by 2020, hackers have an open field to target unsuspecting individuals who aren’t tech savvy and spy on them remotely through their own devices. Macs and Microsoft-based operating systems are not immune, nor are iPhones and Android phones.

The webcam hacking epidemic is a growing concern, even amongst the most tech savvy of individuals. In fact, former FBI Director James Comey has admitted to putting tape over his computer camera when it’s not in use.

Being watched without your knowledge by people who don’t know you - or who do know you, in some cases - is a blatant breach of your privacy. Whether you have anything to hide or not is of little consequence. NSA leaks have already confirmed that the US government has back channel links to all iPhone and Blackberry cameras and microphones, which means Big Brother is watching you 24/7, and listening in to all your conversations.

How does that make you feel?

How does webspam hacking work? How do people hack you?

Simply being connected to the Internet makes any device vulnerable to hacking. If you have cameras on these devices and no anti-malware software to check for security breaches, the software that regulates your camera and facilitates its functions is susceptible to being compromised.

Here are the most popular ways hackers illegally break into webcams and spy on your devices:

1. Weak passwords

Software programs that guess passwords are a dime a dozen, and can easily break into devices that use 123456, qwerty, and other passwords on similar lines. These are lines of code that run on backend channels, and are programmed to decode dictionary words and popular number combinations that people use as passwords. Once they hit the right word and number combination, like qwerty123, your login credentials are compromised and your account information is accessible to hackers.

2. Malware

Malicious pieces of code, also known as Malware, are programmed to:

• Embed themselves in your device under the radar without your knowledge
• Operate silently in the background
• Exploit a lot of information about your device’s software

Malware is routinely spread via popular downloads. Wallpapers, pictures of celebrities, .exe files for basic functions, and browser plugins from questionable sources may all contain malware that is innocently downloaded onto your system and gives hackers access to your webcam.

3. Botnets

Botnets are groups of computers with disreputable intentions that regularly search web properties to target software flaws in a website’s code, as well as online databases and operating systems. Botnets then use these lapses in software security protocols and manual errors to their advantage. This results in sneaky, and sometimes even hostile, takeovers of such properties. Once compromised, the botnet can access files that contain usernames and password logs of customers, and use this information to further hack thousands of users, as well as gain control of their digital devices.

OF NOTE: this is why using the same password across different websites is discouraged. It makes your device easier to hack, if even one of the apps or sites you are registered on is compromised.

4. Remote Access Trojans (RATs)

Remote Access Trojans, also known as Remote Administration Tools, are software programs that let someone control your device remotely from afar, which makes them very hard to track. Hackers that use RATs don’t need to be near you to hack your devices. The Trojan software they use to hack is inserted in freenet files, bit torrents, and P2P file transfers on platforms like Bearshare, Kazaa and Limewire. When you download any files from these sources, the Trojan software is sneakily installed on your device, and then runs in the background silently. This allows hackers to watch your activities, spy on you through your webcam, listen in on your conversations through your mic, and read data stored on your system.

Who is spying on your webcam? Who is behind webcam hacking attacks?

Most hackers are just regular individuals with a solid understanding of software security protocols and operating system vulnerabilities. While the probability of someone close to you hacking your webcam is rare, it isn’t unheard of. Hackers are usually random people who direct their efforts at any and every device connected to the Internet.

Basic dictionary scripts, which are simple lines of code, are freely available on the Internet and can easily be accessed by novices and kids trying to act cool. These are unsophisticated attacks that try to decipher weak passwords to gain control of your device cameras.

Then there are recreational hackers who aren’t looking to spy on you, but won’t hesitate to help others accomplish this goal by relying on their technical knowhow. They might not benefit directly from access to your webcams, but they most definitely aren’t above exploiting the information collected for gains like social media notoriety, or to teach a lesson to big corporations. Your privacy breach matters little to them at the end of the day.

Professional hackers are the ones that you need to be weary of. These are individuals who hack with a purpose, which include things like:

• Selling the information acquired to make a quick buck
• Bullying people online to do their bidding
• Hacking on behalf of paid clients to settle personal scores
• Creating live video feed links for others to watch you for free, in real-time, while they monetize such feeds with ads
• Using your camera to gain access to your device and turn it into a crypto mining machine
• Recording you in compromising positions to blackmail you
• Stealing information from your device like credit card numbers, passwords to confidential accounts, banking details, sensitive pictures, videos, and other classified information, either to steal money or gain the upper hand on people in positions of power.
• Using numerous cameras to drive a high volume of traffic to specific websites in the form of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in an attempt to take them down. This is usually done to try and censor their activities and/or blackmail them.
• Hack business websites to collect client information, proprietary trade secrets, audit files, business statistics and internal communications. In fact, according to Juniper Research, in 2019 alone, businesses will lose approximately $2 trillion due to cyber security attacks by hackers.

In addition to individuals, private organizations, rival businesses, government organizations, and disgruntled social media warriors groups could also be spying on you.

Most people rely on their computers and other connected devices on a daily basis for work, entertainment, education, and communication. These devices have become a powerful part of our lives. When hackers are able to access these devices, it can feel like a major violation of privacy and trust.

With nearly one million new forms of malware being released every day, it can be impossible for the average user to stay on top of the latest threats. The good news is that this doesn’t mean that you’re completely helpless. Understanding some important computer safety practices, knowing what to look for when you’ve been hacked, and how to solve the issue can all help you maintain and/or restore your privacy.

What is browser hacking?

Web browsing is one of the most common activities people will participate in online. That makes it a prime hacking opportunity, with a number of random ways for hackers to gain unauthorized access.

How do people get hacked?

Every website, every download, and every popup advertisement could potentially be a hack. Of course, most popular websites are safe to use but there are many websites designed to hijack a user’s browser for nefarious purposes.

Some malicious websites can install hacks without the user’s knowledge, which gives hackers access to usernames and passwords, as well as a whole host of online accounts, including financial institutions.

Another type of browser hack involves convincing a user to unknowingly install malicious code in the form of a browser extension. Popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox allow users to install browser extensions that can improve the capability of their browser. Trusted extensions are available through the browser’s app store but users can also install extensions from third-party providers.

There is also a form of hacking called Wi-Fi hacking. This does not necessarily directly affect your browser but hackers can use tools on open public Wi-Fi networks to monitor data being sent over the network and then steal the information for their own use. This is why it is not recommended you use a browser to check important personal information like banking details on a public wi-fi network without first connecting to a VPN which can encrypt your data and make it impossible for hackers to monitor.

How to determine if your browser has been hacked

Identifying a browser hack can be difficult. Some hacks sit quietly in the background to try and avoid detection by the user. Other hacks may be much more noticeable.

• One surefire indication that your browser has been hacked is if your home page has been changed without your input or you are noticing that entering the address of your favorite website causes you to be redirected to a totally different website. Often, these websites are advertising pornography, gambling, or fake antivirus software.
• Poor device performance could also indicate you have been hacked. Some malicious browser extensions are able to use your computer hardware for cryptocurrency mining, as an example. Since your processor is being pushed to mine cryptocurrency, performance for other tasks can slow to a crawl.
• Frequent pop-up ads or security warnings can also be a sign that your browser has been hacked. Some popups while browsing the web are to be expected. However, security warnings indicating that you need to download software or advertisements for adult content when you are not visiting adult websites are not normal browser behaviors. In some cases, the popups can be so frequent and pervasive that they make browsing the web almost impossible.

How to fix browser hacks

If your browser has been hacked, there are some steps to take to resolve the problem and prevent further hacking or data loss.

1. Scan Your Computer for Malware – Use a trusted anti-malware or virus scanner to see if there are any malicious programs installed on your device. This will catch any malware installed on your device but may not necessarily notice a malicious browser extension.
2. Perform a Clean Install of Your Browser – Many people will attempt to uninstall browser toolbars or extensions to remove the malware threat. In some cases, this may be helpful if the infection is localized to those specific pieces of software. However, there could be additional threats hiding out of plain sight that will not be resolved by simply uninstalling specific extensions. The safest way to ensure the threat is removed is by completely uninstalling the software and then installing fresh from scratch.
3. Practice Safe Browsing in the Future – Once a clean install has been done and you have verified no other malware is on your device, it’s important to practice safe browsing moving forward to prevent further infections. Only visit trusted websites, only download extensions from the approved browser store, and never click on suspicious links or popups.

Email/Gmail/Yahoo hacking

Your email is one of your most essential forms of communication, and having your email account hacked can be a devastating experience.

How do email accounts get hacked?

The most common way that email accounts get hacked is through password stealing. After all, hackers need your password in order to access your email.

One method of accessing email accounts is by simply brute forcing passwords. Hackers can use programs to guess passwords based on common words or phrases. These programs will try thousands of passwords in a short period of time.

A more common method of hacking email passwords is by simply stealing the password itself. This can be done by installing malware onto a device that tracks keystrokes, known as a keylogger. In some cases, if you use the same password across multiple services, a data breach with one service can open up all of your accounts to hacking.

Phishing attacks are another popular way of stealing email passwords. Hackers will send emails that appear to be legitimate and ask users for login information to verify themselves.

In reality, email providers and other services will never ask you to send them login info in order to verify yourself. This is a red flag and could indicate that you are the target of a phishing attack.

How to determine if your email has been hacked

• One easy way to tell that your email has been hacked is if you can no longer log into your email inbox. When hackers gain access, they will often change your password to try and stop you from locking them out again.
• If you find yourself suddenly logged out of your email account and unable to log back in due to an incorrect password, this could indicate that your email has been hacked.
• Another way hackers will use your email is by sending spam from your address to contacts in your address book. Since these contacts recognize your email address as legitimate, their guard may be down which makes it much easier for hackers to launch phishing attacks or send spam for adult websites, fake security software, and other unwanted services.
• If your friends or family are questioning strange emails from you that you do not recall sending, this may be an important sign that your email account has been hacked.

How to fix an email hack

If you have reason to believe that your email has been hacked, here are some steps you can take to help solve the issue.

1. Scan Your Devices for Malware – The first step is to ensure you remove any malware that may potentially be logging keystrokes and stealing passwords. Scan your device with a trusted anti-malware software to ensure the problem is removed before moving ahead to other steps.
2. Change Your Email Password – If a hacker has accessed your email then they have access to your password. Changing your password will stop them dead in their tracks. Choose a password that is difficult to guess and unique from all of your other passwords. Using a password manager can help you keep track of your different passwords and some of them even generate unique passwords for you.
3. Set Up Two-Factor Authentication – A password is just one layer of security and, if you have been hacked, then you are well aware that it is not 100% secure. Setting up an additional layer of security like two-factor authentication can prevent hackers from logging into your email account even if they do manage to steal your password. Two-factor authentication requires users enter a code that is either texted to their phone or generated using an authenticator app like Google Authenticator.

Security questions are also a good extra layer of security but they are not as secure as two-factor authentication that uses a randomly generated code. If you do wish to use security questions, don’t choose questions that can be easily guessed by people that know you or people who have gleaned information from your public social media profiles.

What is phone hacking?

If you have a smartphone then, chances are, it is an important part of your life. It contains your contacts, your calendar, your email, and much more. It’s no wonder these devices are popular targets for hackers that want access to your personal information.

How do phones get hacked?

Both Android and iOS operating systems are built to be very secure. However, they can still be hacked just like any other connected device.

A common method of hacking is by installing malicious apps. Apple and Google work hard to verify the security of the apps on their app stores and remove anything that does not meet their standards. Unfortunately, however, some users will install apps that are not available in the official stores. These apps may have malicious code that can steal information, install other programs, or even lock user devices.

Password stealing is another common method of phone hacking. Much like the email hacking methods listed above, hackers can steal phone passwords and PINs. And even if the phone is not in a hackers possession, they can still perform actions like remotely locking and wiping the device, installing malicious apps, or stealing information.

How to determine if your phone has been hacked

There are some important things to look out for that may suggest your phone has been hacked.

• Poor performance is a strong indicator that your phone may be hacked. While most phones will experience declining performance over time, this is usually a slow and gradual process. Rapid slowdowns and performance loss may indicate something else out of the ordinary is at play. Some malicious apps, for example, can hijack a phone’s processors to mine cryptocurrency.
• Popups and advertisements on the device may also be a sign that the phone has been hacked. While the occasional popup on a website is not out of the ordinary, frequent popup’s that are intrusive and advertising adult content are not normal.

How to fix a phone hack

Following these steps can give you back control of your smartphone.

1. Uninstall All Suspicious Apps – Any app that was not downloaded from the official app store or apps that you do not recall downloading should be uninstalled. As a rule, those that want to ensure the safety of their device should avoid installing any apps from sources outside of the official app stores.
2. Change Device Passwords – This is a good opportunity to also change device passwords and update the passwords on services used on the phone. Your passwords should be unique and difficult to guess. As mentioned above, you may want to use a password manager to keep track of everything.
3. Perform all Software Updates – iOS and Android, as well as the apps you download, are updated frequently. Not only do these updates introduce new features, but they also help improve security by eliminating bugs or security holes. Putting off updates can leave your phone vulnerable to hacks.
4. Do a Factory Reset (Optional) – This step may not be necessary if the above steps appear to resolve the issue. However, if the phone continues to perform poorly or display unwanted ads, users may want to perform a factory reset on their device through the settings. Please note that this will wipe all of your data and essentially return the phone to the state it was in when you bought it. This should be a last ditch effort to fix phone hacking.

Facebook and social media hacking

Social media is a great way to share information and keep in contact with friends and family around the world. This makes social media sites like Facebook a great communication tool but they are also prime targets for hackers.

How do social network accounts get hacked?

Hackers gain access to social media profiles by using the passwords set up by users to log in to their accounts. How they get these passwords can vary.

• One method is to simply guess the password using software. This software can guess hundreds or thousands of passwords very quickly. A strong password will be hard for the software to guess as the software tends to focus on common words, phrases, and numbers.
• More commonly, passwords are stolen by tricking users. Malicious code on your device may track keystrokes and send password information to hackers so that they are able to access your social media accounts.
• With social media sites like Facebook, users can also link apps to their profile. Hackers have been able to develop malicious apps that steal user information which, in some cases, can include passwords.
• Phishing attempts are another popular method that hackers use to steal passwords. Emails that appear legitimate are sent out to users. The email will look like it’s from Facebook or Twitter and ask a user to log in to verify their identity. The link in the email takes a user to a fake website where they enter their login information which is forwarded to the hackers.
• There have been cases in the past where Facebook accounts were being cloned. While this is not a “hack” in the purest sense of the word, it can certainly feel very similar. Users have noticed that there are accounts that share the same name and photos as their friends or family. After accepting these friend requests, users are inundated with spam messages which may contain malware or malicious links.
• If you receive a friend request from someone you know but the profile is light on content with maybe just a handful of photos and information, check with your friend outside of Facebook first to see if this new account is legitimate.

How to determine if your social media accounts have been hacked

One of the most common ways people will become aware of their social media accounts being hacked is when they hear from friends or family that they are posting strange updates or sending unusual messages. Hackers will post spam messages that share products or services. In many cases, the links that are shared lead to malicious websites which help hackers collect even more information.

Users that can no longer log in to their social media accounts may also find they have been hacked. Often, once a hacker gains access, they will change passwords to prevent users from logging in and stopping the messages from being sent.

How to fix social media hacks

These steps can stop hackers from spamming your friends and family and allow you to take back control over your own personal social media profile.

1. Change Your Password Immediately – The first step to stopping a social media hacker is to change your password. This will stop them from being able to log in and continue sending malicious content to your friends or followers.
2. Remove Suspicious Apps – Review linked apps and services in the settings menu of the platform you are using. Disable or remove any apps or services that you do not need.
3. Scan Your Computer for Malware – If a hacker stole your password with a keylogger then the malware may still be on your computer. Scan your device with a trusted anti-malware program to remove the malicious software.
4. Set Up 2-Factor Authentication – Most popular social media platforms offer two-factor authentication which adds another layer of security when logging in. Even if a hacker were to steal your password in the future, they would be unable to access the account thanks to two-factor authentication. In addition, your authentication method can sometimes indicate someone is trying to access your account and prompt you to change your password.

Resources

There are some helpful resources that you can use to protect yourself online.

If you find that creating and remembering complex passwords is a challenge then you could try a password generator and keeper service like 1Password. This service can generate incredibly complex passwords that are almost impossible for most hackers to brute force and guess. Then, these passwords are stored in a secure, encrypted location for you to review later. There is no need to actually remember or write down the password you generated.

Two-factor authentication is another great security tool and most popular websites support the feature now. Google Authenticator is one of the most highly recommended apps for two-factor code generation. Setting it up is simple and the process only adds a few more second to your usual login process.

Using a VPN is also a very helpful tool in protecting your information. This is especially true if you find yourself using open public Wifi networks like those found in coffee shops, airports, and other public locations. Express VPN comes highly recommended online and is simple to use. There are a number of other services available to protect your data online.

Finally, users may wish to install anti-malware protection on their devices. Malwarebytes is a popular choice for many users. You can set up regular scans to check for malware and, if any is found, Malwarebytes will quarantine and remove the infection so that you can continue to use your device safely. Combined with smart browsing and downloading habits, anti-malware software can be an important second layer of security.

Your smartphone is one of the most important devices that you own. It connects you to your email, phone calls, text messages, social media accounts, and can even act as your wallet.

For many people, their smartphone is one of the most important tools in their day-to-day life. So, it should come as no surprise that hackers want access to your smartphone and the treasure chest of data it contains.

Proper prevention is the most important step to avoid being hacked. However, even the most diligent users can still fall victim to hackers.

How do people get hacked via their phones?

Phone software is designed to be a very secure ecosystem. Unlike a laptop or desktop computer, it’s not as easy for smartphone users to download and install malicious programs from anywhere on the web. Instead, apps are held in the official app stores and verified for security.

Of course, nothing is 100% secure. There are ways to get around the security processes put in place by Apple and Google. These are the holes that hackers look for when seeking to hack cell phones.

Do apps spread viruses?

Can the apps you download from the app store on your device spread viruses? The short answer is: yes.

However, most apps downloaded from the official app store for your operating system are safe to use. Apple and Google go to great lengths to ensure that the apps available for download in their stores are safe. Of course, some apps have slipped through the cracks. For example, Google has removed apps in the past which contained adware that creates unwanted popups and messages.

The greater risk from apps comes when people choose to download and install apps that are not from the official app stores. This is easier to do on Android phones than iOS devices, but the risk is all the same. Installing an app from a website or third-party source means that the app has not gone through the Google or Apple verification process. As a result, the app may be loaded with malware that could track your location, steal your information, and even send messages without your consent.

This is not to say that all apps from third-party sources are not safe, but it’s important to know that downloading these apps comes with much greater risk than downloading apps from official app stores.

Can you be hacked using public Wi-Fi?

Keeping your phone bill to a minimum is important for pretty much anyone who owns a smartphone. To avoid going over data allotments, many people will connect to free public wi-fi networks. However, doing this can enable hackers to steal your information and access your accounts.

Viruses can be spread over rogue wi-fi connections. These are hotspots that appear legitimate but, in reality, are controlled by the hacker. Once users connect to the network, hackers can monitor data and even inject malware to connected devices.

While viruses being spread over open wi-fi hotspots are rare, there are other forms of hacking that can take place on free wi-fi networks. When you connect your device to these networks, you are opening your information up to anyone else who is connected to that network and has the technical know-how to view that information. This is referred to as a man in the middle attack.

Hackers will often connect to free public wi-fi networks and monitor the data that is sent over these networks. That data could include passwords, messages, and browsing information. With the stolen information, hackers may be able to access the accounts you use on your smartphone.

Using a VPN can protect against this as the VPN’s encrypt your data before sending it out across the network. For people who find themselves connecting to public wi-fi networks regularly, using a VPN can be a very effective way to prevent this type of smartphone hacking.

Can you be hacked via text message?

Text messaging is one of the most popular ways to communicate using a smartphone. Therefore, it is also a popular tool for hackers to use when attempting to trick a user into doing something they really don’t want to.

There are several ways text message viruses can spread. The most common method is when a hacker sets up a number to send out messages to a giant block of phone numbers. These messages usually contain links that redirect people to a page that is owned by the hacker.

From there, the hacker persuades people to download malicious code and/or spy apps, inundates their phone with popups, or simply directs them to sites where the hacker can earn money from sales or advertisements.

Some malicious apps have also been known to be able to take control of someone’s text messaging app and send out messages on their own. For this to work, however, you will need to have downloaded an app that enables the hacker to do this.

Once the app is downloaded, the hacker can then use your phone to message your contacts with links to download malicious apps and/or visit websites that are owned by the hacker. Since other people are seeing the message coming directly from you, they may not realize that the message is actually from a hacker and click on the link without thinking twice.

What to Expect from the Upcoming Season of Doctor Who

Fans of Doctor Who know that from time traveling, exploring parallel universes, and fighting a boatload of aliens, anything is possible in the show. The show’s writers can create any story without any limitation holding them back.

Gone are the days when Doctor Who storylines would span two or more episodes. The directors have now made the series in the form of standalone episodes for the viewers to easily dip in and out. Also, there are no traditional Doctor Who bosses anymore.

The upcoming season of the show is going to be the biggest so far. Given that the ratings for the last season of the show were the highest, it’s highly unlikely that there will be any major changes in the leading cast of the show.

BBC has already confirmed that the character of Yaz, played by Mandip Gill, is going to be a part of a big plot. Since his head was blown off in the last season, it is speculated that the writers of the show could recruit him into the Headless Monks.
