HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CAMERA FROM BEING HACKED AND YOURSELF FROM WEBCAM SPYING
1. ENABLE FIREWALL
A firewall protects your system by monitoring the network traffic and blocking suspicious connections. Make sure your computer’s inbuilt firewall is up and running. Many people ignore this step confidently.
2. USE A TRUSTED AND RELIABLE ANTI-VIRUS
Choose one with advanced protection against malware, spyware, and viruses. An antivirus program will take care of detecting and will kick out malicious threats before they do any harm.
3. CHECK THE CAMERA ACCESS
So many apps require access to your camera and we always allow without thinking twice just like we do with terms and conditions. Well from now on be careful with it. If an unrequired app is asking for camera access then deny it.
4. BEWARE OF PHISHING TRAPS
We already have told you about phishing in many previous posts. But for those who are new, Phishing is a type of online scam where criminals create a link to get access to your account or device if you opened that link.
5. BE CAREFUL IN PUBLIC WI-FI
Public Wi-Fi networks are extremely vulnerable to cyber attacking. Many cybercriminals are looking for prey who are using public wi-fi and try to put malware on their device. Use VPN while using public wi-fi.
6. COVER YOUR WEBCAM AND MIC
Yes, that’s right. Even Mark Zuckerberg does it. It’s the easiest and 100% reliable way to prevent someone from watching you through your computer camera.
