Do you ever wonder if your smart devices are watching you? The latest statistics show that as many as 60 million households in the U.S. are actively using smart devices in their home.
Just like anything connected to the internet, smart home devices can be hacked and used to spy on you. A recent study showed that one in two Americans are unaware that their webcam can be hacked.
First, if someone calls or texts with photos of you and demands money, they probably have access to your devices and their cameras. If you see the light to the side of your laptop camera blink, it means the webcam is in use. Second, if you can’t turn off the camera on some of your devices, but you would like some privacy, a simple piece of black tape over the camera eye is an easier option.
