Webcams let family members, friends and business associates connect face-to-face across the world.
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content and threat management solutions observed that in the last decade, webcams become so ubiquitous.
The phenomenon of seeing someone as they speak with another person tens or thousands of miles away has gone from a pipedream to a commonplace reality that can take place in the palm of a hand, courtesy of smartphones.
But users are not the only people who can access the webcam on a computer.
Attackers with programs like Blackshades remote access tool (RAT), which was cracked down on earlier this year, can essentially hack their way into other computer and use the camera at will.
The program is sold for only USD40 (more than P1,500) at different sites.
