Webcam Covers Are a SCAM!

Here's why...

Webcam covers are marketed as a security and privacy product, designed to prevent webcam espionage.

You put one of these little covers over your webcam and then you rest easy, knowing that if someone "hacks" your webcam, they can't see you.

Here is the problem with this.

Before your webcam can be hacked, a cyber criminal must first install a piece of malware onto your computer called:

A REMOTE ACCESS TROJAN - or R.A.T.

Once this piece of malware is installed, the attacker can:

🛑 Listen to your microphone

🛑 Access the files on your computer

🛑 Log your keystrokes


If placing a cover over your webcam makes you feel better

or

Perhaps it's for preventing accidentally enabling your camera in meetings

Then GREAT!

But don't mistake the level of security and privacy this little piece of plastic is actually providing.

The damage that could be inflicted upon you from listening to what you say or what you type on your keyboard is FAR WORSE than someone being able to watch you on your webcam.

My question for you is...

Do you use a webcam cover and does it make you feel safe?
