Camfecting is a type of cyberattack where a hacker remotely takes control of a person's webcam or surveillance camera without their knowledge. This unauthorized access allows attackers to spy on victims, record video or audio, and potentially steal sensitive footage or personal information. Camfecting often occurs through malware, phishing, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. To protect against camfecting, users should keep their devices updated, use strong passwords, and cover their cameras when not in use.
