Webcams are incredibly popular tools for helping people to communicate face to face online and they are installed by default on most laptop computers and home computer setups.

But there have been an alarming number of cases recently where hackers have taken over the webcams of private or business computers and used them in a variety of ways to take advantage of unknowing victims.

In one infamous case teenage beauty queen Cassidy Wolf''s laptop computer in her dorm was hacked with a a remote access trojan and the hacker tried to extort money from her using photos of her changing in her own private dorm room.

Authorities say Cassidy Wolf''s case and cases like it are unfortunately very common with many of these types of crimes going unreported because they are a form of sexual assault and the victims are too embarrassed to report the crime.

Hacking into webcams is becoming easier and more common with hacker websites appearing online sharing in depth details on how to hack webcams in this way. The same sites often sell or share access to webcams that have already been hacked. It is important to understand ways to stop this intrusion.

To help home and business users who want to avoid this type of hacking the consumer website WebChoice.com have published in depth details and instructions on how to avoid this type of invasion of privacy and possible risk of blackmail.

Details are included on how computer owners can protect themselves from webcam hacking using anti-virus or anti-malware software, a secure Wi-Fi connection with a strong password and the warning signs that can alert a user that a webcam has been hacked.
