FBI: Webcam hacking next big cyber crime

JACKSON, Miss. —Are people spying on your family right now? If you have a camera on any of your home computers, they may be.

The FBI said webcam hacking is likely the next big cyber crime. 16 WAPT's Megan West explained how easy it is to become a victim in a special report.

At least twice a week, Sarah Broadus logs onto Skype with family members all over the country. She likes to keep them up-to-date on her three growing girls.

"It's crazy how you can just press a button and there they are on the other side of the screen," Broadus said.

But now, some cyber creeps are hacking into that same technology to spy on unsuspecting computer users.

"Some are just perverts," said Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood.

Hood said the online peepers use malicious software to tap into laptop webcams. Some know how to break into your camera and watch you anytime they want.

"You may switch your camera off on your laptop but the technology is such that it can cut your camera on and you not know it," Hood said.

The hackers can take what you think are private moments in your bedroom, in your hotel, or with your family and transmit the images wherever they want.

A quick search on Google can reveal a seedy new underworld and step-by-step instructions on how to invade your computer privacy. READ MORE >>

The woman is visible from thousands of miles away on a hacker’s computer. The hacker has infected her machine with a remote administration tool (RAT) that gives him access to the woman’s screen, to her webcam, to her files, to her microphone. He watches her and the baby through a small control window open on his Windows PC, then he decides to have a little fun. He enters a series of shock and pornographic websites and watches them appear on the woman’s computer.”*

Using Remote Admin Tools, a stranger could do virtually anything from spying through your computer’s webcam and microphone, to keylogging, to sending porn or other unwanted content. How does this happen? Ana Kasparian and Desi Doyen (Green News Report) discuss

Security researchers have identified a vulnerability in Samsung’s Linux-based Smart TV software that could give a hacker near-complete access to the television. This includes any file on the television, any connected USB drive and, yes, the built-in camera and microphones found on the latest top-of-the-line LCD and plasma sets. In effect, this would allow a hacker to hear and see you as you're watching the TV.

ReVuln, a Malta-based firm that specializes in "vulnerability research for offensive and defensive security," showed how it could hack the TVs remotely from anywhere on the network where the TV itself is installed

Webcam Spynig Gone Wild

A man who may have coerced as many as 350 women to strip for him via webcam has been arrested by the FBI on federal computer-hacking charges.
According to federal authorities, Karen "Gary" Kazaryan, 27, of Glendale, Calif., broke into email, Skype and Facebook accounts.
He then searched for and stole risqué private photos and other information and changed users' passwords, a Department of Justice statement said.
The statement also said Kazaryn masqueraded as friends of his victims, pretending to be a woman and persuading them to remove their clothes while connected via Skype video chat.
If a victim refused, Kazaryan would allegedly blackmail her into compliance by threatening to post the stolen risqué images online — a classic example of "sextortion."
Don't make it easy for the next one
The DOJ press release says Kazaryan "gained unauthorized access to — in other words, hacked into — the victims' accounts."
Given the loose definition of hacking under federal criminal code, this could mean Kazaryan simply guessed or reset their passwords.
That's easy to do when people post personal details on their Facebook pages that are answers to identity-challenge questions such as "What was your mother's maiden name?"
The press release said Kazaryan has been indicted on 15 counts of computer intrusion and 15 counts of aggravated identity theft.
If convicted, he faces up to 105 years in federal prison.
