how are people able to hack into webcams and spy on other people?
In: Technology
Many consumer goods that connect to the internet are made to be “user friendly”. If you’re selling a webcam, you want Bob Average to be able to just plug it in and *poof* presto, it works! If Bob Average has to set up a very secure password for his new webcam, and download an authenticator app on his phone, and connect the webcam to the authenticator…then he’s probably just gonna throw the damn thing back in the box and return it.
This means that many devices which connect to the internet are *horribly insecure*.
