Hack Webcam

Hey everybody,

is it possible for hackers to active webcam without the Green LED? And how do I know that the system is hacked?

Thanks for the help!

Greetings from the Germany

Alex

Generally no. If the Green led is not lit or blinking, it is not used. If you are not downloading from dubious sites or clicking popups suspicious, you should have no problem. If your firewall is turned on and your WIFI is encrypted, you should be good. Is there a reason that you are worried about it.

    Hello

    Well, if you have already updated the driver for the webcam, I would recommend updated the BIOS too. The latest version is available for download on the Toshiba site. Before you download, compare the model number, if the update supports your laptop!

    If it doesn t work I think there seems to be a hardware malfunction, maybe the webcam cable must be renewed or something else. I think that the best option would be to contact a technician laptop for diagnosis.

    Hello

    A decided to try to use my webcam via Skype and realized his does not work.

    After numerouse hack I realized I have to install the software. Downloaded, but the application kept saying 'failed to initialize. "

    I took it to my friend who advised me that the webcam is not in the Device Manager.

  • Security webcam - Ideapad Z series problem

    I would like to know an answer to simple questions YES or NO:

    (1) is it normal that a LED flash webcam behavior when Lenovo Idelapad Z710 is turned on?

    (2) YOUR webcam LED flashes when you turn on the laptop computer?

    I am concerned about safety. My computer hacked to the University network and therefore the webcam LED starts flashing when the laptop is power on. I don't really know if it flashing before my computer pirate, that's why I'm asking here.

    More detailed description if you wanted:

    -Webcam is a function normally.

    -The LED will light up for a second or two, when the laptop is turned on, then turn off.

    -The LED does not light when the laptop is awake from sleep / hibernation.

    -The LED light even when the drive is unplugged and removed from the laptop.

    -J' did some speak with a local repairman for lenovo, but we have been unable to fix it (EEPROM locked...), because there is no direct support for ideapad in my country.

    -Flashing of BIOS has not helped, or any change in the BIOS.

    If your answer is "It is normal..", please also answer if your webcam does the same.

    If your answer "hacking BIOS/HW is not possible..." "Well, it is possible, for example, see: http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/25425/hacking/bypass-secure-boot-uefi.html

    (1) YES and
    (2) YES.
    The light of the camera on my Z710 happens every time I turn on my laptop. Without being an expert or anything like that, I think it is the awakening that gets the camera from the BIOS when you turn your Z710.
    If a person in the community is more tech savvy, could you please confirm that this is the case?

  • Webcam not displayed in a Google Chrome Extension with pepper Flash

    Hello Adobe,

    There is a problem with the Flash version of pepper in Chrome to access the webcam.  When embedding a Flash application that accesses the webcam inside a Chrome Extension and click on 'Allow' (to allow access to the webcam), the expected behavior is to see the webcam image.  Instead, we see only a black screen - no picture - and no real mistake that the camera is inaccessible.

    If we turn off Flash pepper and use lightning main plugin Chrome, then the Extension works perfectly (we see the image of the webcam).

    Note that if we try to load the same HTML code directly as a web page with Flash of pepper, this works also.  So this leads to the conclusion that there is a problem with the following combination: pepper Flash + Extension Chrome + webcam.

    It is a major set back to set useful Chrome extensions that use the webcam.  Can what comments you do on this issue.

    Thank you.

    Nope.  My initial recommendation to open a chrome bug stands.  I am hopeful that another fix webcam in Chrome could solve this problem, but looks like it's specific for use in a chrome extension.  My hypothesis is that the nature of process in the PPAPI model sandboxing prevents us to access the camera in the case.

    This isn't a use case that test us or support, is therefore no guarantee terms of long term stability or prioritization of patches it must break in the future.  I just want to be clear that it is staggering if you create a business on top of it.  That said, we do not like to see new uses for Flash and try to help if possible.  The rate and the pace of the browsers change makes it difficult to predict what will and will not work long term in this kind of borderline cases.

    In the PPAPI world, there not a lot of leeway "to work things.  The beauty of the PPAPI, is that it provides points of own congestion by which Google can restrict plugin behavior.  Greatly enhances the security of the end user, it is intrinsically more restrictive with regard to our ability to generate clever hacks.  (IMO, it's a good thing in the long run.)

    Google engineers would really need to throw an eye to understand this behavior is not currently allowed and how / if they are interested to provide a manufacturing process, it works safely.

  • Webcam of conflict with other applications

    Is it possible for low-COST airlines to check a webcam with other applications conflict and to display a message to the user?

    I see a problem with users often enough where they only see the top bar of the webcam in their webcam pod. I think this happens when they used another (probably Skype) application and this application has failed to properly release the webcam.

    I can reproduce this 100% of the time with the webcam application example if I open yahoo messenger and click on Messenger / My Webcam.

    If I start the webcam sample application then I see the top bar of the Subscriber of the webcam to my own camera (see picture).

    Is it possible to:

    (a) detects if the webcam is available before publishing? or

    (b) take control of the camera to the other application that has not published by force?

    Hi Barry,.

    Although there is no solution, we hack or workaround for this problem.

    This test code and check whether it meets your needs. So I put the flag is not for display userDisplay bar and its displayed when we receive a stream. I also instantiate a timer and see if the camera is busy. If its busy then the method detects and you may have to handle.

    I guess also multiplexing a single webcam IE is not possible to share a webcam between applications.

  • IMSG hacked account, sending a lot of international text in current bill

    So yesterday my pirate apple account (connected from a unknown macbook) and I noticed someone was frantically sends many messages from my phone, images which got also sent as normal text to an international number. After noticing, I quickly changed password. Checked my mobile BT phone bill, and he had already executed a bill for all these messages sent to international numbers. The appeal of BT until you see what they can do and they just said, you will have to pay for the Bill and that was that.

    What to do about this? my password was normally good security level and don't even know how he hacked. How would stop it doesn't happen because it looks just like any time I could just be landed with a massive Bill. Fortunately, I noticed pretty quickly this time, so the Bill does not accumulate to something that would be unfeasible. But with the telephone companies want to help at all, it seems extremely unfair!

  • IMEI + phone no., spoofing/hacking info or get the iPhone

    With the iPhone IMEI + phone to number, spoofing/hacking or obtaining personal information from the iPhone Can?

    I gave my IMEI number of my new iPhone 7 with my AT & T number to one of the site and feared if my iPhone will be blocked or spoofed or misused somehow.

    Your comments would be appreciated.

    No, the IMEI is simply a device identifier, not an authentication token.  It can be used to listen to or entered in the device itself at all.  It doesn't identify your device to all other like devices on the network.  There is nothing else that an address material, useful for the network to keep track of who is connected and that the carrier chooses to allow on their network.

    Yet, why you give personal information or any information you think apparently ill at ease to give to some Internet site?  If it was one of those ridiculous sites IMEI "tick", don't use them - each one is at least partly a fraud since the carriers and manufacturers are not available to the public data that these sites claim to have.

  • I was really hacked or blackmailed

    At the end of August in SM hotel in Las Vegas after having connected the local WiFi shortly my Macbook Air got hung with pop - up notice to immediately contact a number to phone for help. The popups were accompanied by piercing sound. OK, I contacted the phone number and said emphatically that my computer has been hacked I won't be blocked all access served Apple, etc. on the blacklist if I do not contact another phone number and get technical help and be charged as 249 dollars.  Yes, the Lady stands as a representative of Apple and wrote me another phone number. The issue proved to be TechCure company what rally scanned my computer and helped me to get rid of the problem after the withdrawal of the sum mentioned on my credit card that I said reluctantly. They got me electronically signed their bill through Docusign and I have my receipt of billing.

    For now I have no problem, but I'm hesitant and many think that the first phone number that appears on my screen after pirate did not belong to Apple. What should I do to and is it possible to find out the now and somehow to clarify the situation. What should I do to avoid and what are my other possible actions in this situation?

    To turn off the computer and wait until I can take it to the Apple store nearest? I'm sure now.

    Thank you

    Sorry, but you've been scammed by criminals. Because you allowed them access to your computer, the only method of 100% to be sure it is safe to use is to restore by using a backup prior to the crime. Contact your bank to determine measures to deal with the fraud.

    All this pop-up message, no matter how threatening they do believe, will always be a scam.

  • Hacked? Thanks for nothing Apple.

    October 1, 2 of my 4 iPads have been hacked.

    2 have been connected to wifi

    2 were not connected to wifi.

    He is attacked by the Russians, and they provided an email: [email protected].
    I emailed them, they asked for the transfer of bitcoins $ 50 to some address to get a password to regain access to my iPad.

    Before that, I called Apple, they were not really helpful because I have a proof of purchase for 2 of my iPads that one of them online, I bought years ago and of course I threw the receipt for the other. In addition, the Apple sales team could not send me my receipt for the iPad that I bought online because they do not work weekends.

    In any case, I suspected that if I connect my 3rd iPad WiFi, the same thing would happen. And he did. However, my third iPad has a password on it, so I could still access it. The iPad 2 that were pirated is fixed now, by restoring the factory. The downside is that I lost all my photos over the years.

    Yes I do back not heat my iTunes really iPad *.

    I really hope that Apple can improve their service. I spent 33minutes and 4seconds on the phone with their representative and he need me to give a proof of purchase to unlock my iPad. Also, when I logged in iCloud, all my iPads were there. Thank you for helping me to lose all my photos.

    Hello

    When you recharge an iPhone / ipad must be saved automatically to iCloud

    More you WiFi go to settings check the last backup date iCloud

    Then when you have to factory reset when set back it will ask you if you want to use

    ICloud backup say you Yes.

    If you have lost a few paid apps even those using the same apple ID then you can download it again for free.

    See you soon
