Research shows how MacBook Webcams can spy on their users without warning

Last week, researchers at Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Computer Science showed off an exploit that allows a hacker to take over some MacBook computers and activate their Web cameras without the users’ knowledge.

The webcam hacking technique, first reported by The Washington Post, is said to be similar to a tactic used to spy on Cassidy Wolf, a 19-year-old Miss Teen USA, who fell victim to a webcam hacker earlier this year.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested the man responsible for the spying on Ms. Wolf. He pleaded guilty to charges in connection with his spying on her and a number of other women, using software that could snap a picture or record video of them without warning.

The Johns Hopkins paper, titled “iSeeYou: Disabling the MacBook Webcam Indicator LED,” explains how the researchers were able to reprogram an iSight camera’s microcontroller to activate the recording functions and LED activation lights independently to spy on someone without giving that person any idea that the computer camera is in use.

This problem with the onsite LED indicator is a problem with both old and new MACBOOKs.

Watch the full repot here from the Washington Post

eyebloc webcam cover review

So, there has been a lot of confusion in the market about what webcam cover is the best. So, I thought as the owner of C-SLIDE I could give you a review of my competitors. Now, this video comes with a bias opinion obviously so, don't take my word for it do your own research.

This video is a REVIEW of C-SLIDE webcam cover vs EYEBLOC.

In this review there are five rounds with possible score of 10 points per round:

Size: eyebloc when it comes to webcam covers is HUGE. It is way too big! It’s so big when placed on the tablet it pops off by its self. Plus when you do close your laptop you may damage your hinge. And don’t even try to put it in a laptop bag or the eyebloc will just fall off.

Functionality: eyebloc will work great IF you never move or close your laptop. In the video you will see how the laptop will not close.

Durability: the best thing about eyebloc is the durability. It is quite strong but it does not matter since it is one of the worst designs out there.

Last I do a Price Comparison including shipping charges.

eyebloc $6.99 for each unit

Shipping $3.99

Total $10.98 OUCH!

C-SLIDE only costs $5.95 and includes FREE shipping.
