Yes, a hacker can attack your webcam. This process is commonly referred to as “#camfecting,” where unauthorized users gain access to a device owner’s webcam without their knowledge or consent. Hackers typically achieve this by infecting devices with #malware, often through phishing attacks that trick users into downloading malicious software. Once the malware is installed, #hackers can remotely control the #webcam, potentially leading to privacy #violations and security threats.
