2022-11-19 22:35:23 Find out who's watching you through camera

Both huge companies and ordinary hackers can try to get access to your camera for their own purposes. In both cases, you probably won't even know it's there.

One of the few ways to know if your camera is being tracked is with the help of Procesed Explorer utility. The software was created by Microsoft Corporation, so it's effective.

Press Win + R to open "Device Manager", run devmgmt.msc and tap "Details".

In the list select "Physical Device Object Name" - \Device\0000009c.

Copy this name, download it and run it as administrator.

Type the name of the webcam in the search box and click on "Search" with the binoculars icon.

That's it: you'll see the processes and applications that use the camera. See the details or complete them, if you want.

Try it!

Inspect content is a manual filter for unknown links: the service prompts if there is a lot of text, estimates how much time it takes to read it, and shows keywords.

Can be useful if you were sent a suspicious link - at least to have an idea what's inside. There is a limit: only three requests per day, but to remove this restriction, you just need to register (it's free).

You need to securely protect your data. One of the best tools for it is VeraCrypt. It's simple, easy to install, you just have to come up with a strong password and not store it digitally.

My laptop hard drive has been encrypted for years: I enter a password every time that can neither be recovered nor reset.

VeraCrypt is used by hackers, investigators, journalists and anyone else who deals with important data. So far, not a single intelligence agency in the world has managed to decipher VeraCrypt algorithms.
