Hollywood is incorporating Webcam Spying into the plot of The Good Wife: The RAT’s in the Cradle

Below is a recap of the popular TV Show The Good Wife.  In the recap you see how they use Webcam Spying as the main story line.  You know we have a serious problem with Webcam Hacking when Hollywood starts to incorporate it in to the movies and TV shows. 

Back at the apartment offices of the new firm, former L&G bankruptcy trustee -- now lawyer -- Clark Hayden arrives. Cary and Alicia have brought him in to analyze their books. As suspected, things don't look so good. They're burning overhead money and not bringing in enough billable hours. 

Worse, Zach discovers that someone has taken over Alicia's computer, using a remote access tool, or RAT for short. By turning on Alicia's webcam, anyone on the other end can hear and see what's going on in the apartment. Though Clarke isn't crazy about the idea, Cary gets him to take part in a scheme to provide false information about the F-A's business, presumably to the folks at Lockhart & Gardner. 

David Lee still is fuming about Alicia's "betrayal" and tries to hang the malpractice case around her neck. The key piece of evidence is a check to a leader of the Chippewa nation -- a bribe to look the other way in the adoption case, which involved an infant of part-Native American heritage. Everything hinges on which attorney was the supervising partner of record. David claims it was Alicia, since she received her promotion to partner in the middle of the case. 

That would make Alicia liable for the whole malpractice claim -- a whopping $6 million. But Clarke Hayden says David was in charge. He knows this because of his work doing their books during the bankruptcy proceedings. Is Alicia in the clear?

It's Not About the New Firm

During Will's investigation of the girl's murder, he runs into Alicia's brother Owen on the college campus. Owen's surprised to learn his big sis has struck out on her own. He also doesn't buy the idea that she just wanted her independence.

Unable to keep out of it, he confronts Alicia back at her place about his suspicions: she left L&G to put distance between herself and Will. Just as they're about to get into it, Grace interrupts, looking for Zach. Now the webcam light is on her computer, not Alicia's. What's up with that?  #thegoodwife #webcamhacking

EX-OFFICIAL SAYS FBI CAN SECRETLY ACTIVATE AN INDIVIDUAL’S WEBCAM WITHOUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNING ON

The FBI can secretly activate a computer’s webcam to spy on an individual without turning on the indicator light, a former official revealed to the Washington Post in an article published Friday.

According to the Washington Post’s account of what Marcus Thomas — former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division in Quantico — said, “The FBI has been able to covertly activate a computer’s camera — without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording — for several years, and has used that technique mainly in terrorism cases or the most serious criminal investigations.”
                                              
“Because of encryption and because targets are increasingly using mobile devices, law enforcement is realizing that more and more they’re going to have to be on the device — or in the cloud,” Thomas added, in reference to remote storage services. “There’s the realization out there that they’re going to have to use these types of tools more and more.”
TheBlaze has previously reported on hackers using remote access tools to activate an individual’s webcam and spy on them. #webcamspying #webcamhacking

Sextortion online becoming MORE PREVALENT

Paul Gillespie, president and CEO of the Toronto-based Kids' Internet Safety Alliance (KINSA), says sexual extortion has become a major concern for law enforcement officials worldwide.

In the month before Amanda Todd’s death, Todd posted a video on YouTube in which she used handwritten cards to convey her story. She wrote that her troubles started after an unknown person talked her into exposing herself in front of a webcam.

Law enforcement officials agree that sextortion is an increasing problem, but because it is still a relatively new phenomenon, there is no hard data on how frequently it happens, says Michelle Collins, vice-president of the exploited children division of the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Spied On Through a Webcam on the Katie Couric Show


Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf recalls the moment she realized someone had been using her own webcam to take nude photos of her.  Cassidy found that she had been spied on for a long period of time because the nude photos were from high school and college. 

The sextortionist gave her three options or he would post all the nude photos he had of her on the internet including all her own social sites.  Here are the three options that were given to Cassidy via an email:
1.       Send the sextortionist good quality photos
2.       Snap chat with him
3.       Skype with him for five minutes and do whatever he says

Mary Wolf, Cassidy’s mother was horrified when she read the emails from the webcam hacker.
After the FBI arrested  the webcam hacker Jared James Abrahams, they found he had been sextorting 9 girls which two had complied to all of his requests.

According to a security expert on the show the FBI states that hacking has increased 8.9% over last year and that includes both individual and business hacking. 

Now, the same security expert suggest to use TAPE on the lenses to cover it.  C-SLIDE disagrees with this solution.  Would anyone place tape on their digital camera lens?  No, this would make that lens completely useless.  The strategy to cover the lens is correct but the only functional solution is a Webcam Cover by C-SLIDE.

Arrest made in Miss Teen USA ‘Sextortion photos’ case

TEMECULA, Calif. — A college student was arrested Thursday for allegedly hijacking the webcams of young women — among them reigning Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf — taking nude images, then blackmailing his victims to send him more explicit material or else be exposed.
Jared James Abrahams, a 19-year-old computer science student from Temecula, California, surrendered on Thursday to the FBI on federal extortion charges, the agency announced. Authorities say he victimized young women surreptitiously, by taking control of their computers then photographing them as they changed out of their clothes.
When he admitted what he’d done in June, Abrahams said he had 30 to 40 “slave computers” — or other people’s electronic devices he controlled — and has had as many as 150 total, according to a criminal complaint.

His arrest came six months after a teenager identified in court documents as C.W. alerted authorities. She has since publicly identified herself as Cassidy Wolf, the recently crowned Miss Teen USA. She touted news reports of her alleged tormenter’s arrest on her Twitter feed.

At the time she contacted police, in March, Wolf was not a national figure — even though she was Miss Teen California — and lived in an apartment and attended Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa.
