How to disable the camera on a smartphone?
I just read about this today...
Are my boobs a national security target? That's funny!
This is what Snowden’s wife said in response to his exhortations to cover up the camera on his PC. In a sense, she's right. And the point here is not about protecting the “elusive Joe,” but about WHAT is visible through your Web camera.
Have you ever wondered what the villain will actually see through your camera? interior of your office or apartment? Your concentrated face? Place a mirror next to the monitor and admire yourself. It is extremely rare to see documents and objects on the table, but the quality of the resulting picture is not always enough to read something meaningful.
There is much more information about you on your PC than the image from the Web camera. Private and work documents, photos, browser history and keystroke logging - all this is many times more valuable than your frowning face or a photo in a negligee. Most hacks on the Internet are aimed at stealing money in one form or another. If I were choosing which resources to access for the purpose of profit, then the WEB camera would be in last place. It's much more interesting to access the keyboard or hard drive.
If attackers have gained access to your camera, this means that they have gained access to everything that is on your PC. Formulations like “they tried to hack me, but I taped up the camera and now I sleep peacefully” are too stupid and naive. Yes, you ALREADY got hacked and got EVERYTHING they could, and your camera became the cherry on the cake.
