Webcams
If YOU have a webcam installed on YOUR computer and if its unsecure it can be accessed by ANYONE, ANYWHERE!
In fact an unsecure webcam does not even need a trojan horse on your computer to exploit it. Even moreso here is the scary part - knowing what keywords to type into Google.com can produce results of thousands of unsecure webcams all across the world. Some of these webcams are public and meant to be viewed by anyone while others are private but unsecure. A stalker with access can move the cam around at their leasure, change resolution, brightness and darkness, and take screenshots - Pretty much anything the owner of the camera can do a person online can do!
Q: So what can one do to protect their webcam?
A1: Turn it off and cover the lens when not in use! (Webcam basics 101!)
A2:
I will try to find links and resources on how to secure a webcam that is on if I can or if you know please post - I have never owned a webcam so a solution I can provide would not be the best source.

Would watching the Number viewing our cam enough to know if there is anyone watching or not???
When we dont use the cam or mic , it's always safe because they are in most cases not connected to line. But how abt when we are using it with our friends???
If anyone has any information please share with us?
