some guys i heard talked about webcam hacking and looking around at the place where there victim lives, but im not sure if that is possible?
Answer:
Okay, I'm a program hacker… I tend to hack into my own programs rather then troll around the net hacking into servers or PCs. Yes, it is totally possible… a bit difficult if you are security conscious but totally possible.
Here's how it's done (giving info on how but not what they use)
(1.) Get a Hacking Trojan virus and a Webcam hacking tool off a hack website (yeah, they do exist they're just really good at hiding lol)
(2.) Usually hackers send the file via E-mail under an assumed name, like a game or a program that seems real (actually it's the Server Trojan)
(3.) They use this program which has secretly hidden itself on your hardrive leaving you thinking it was a program that just wouldn't open (Actually, this is the part where the hacker has full access to u and your PC) The Program give them your IP address and the ports IDs so they can get in anytime they want.
(4.) The hacker opens the Webcam hacking tool on their end and your webcam turns on and they are watching you (no warnings at all, no permission to view status box… just boop, your on and in living colour)
-The only way to actually know is if it has a led that only comes on when you turn it on will come on… however most tend to come on the second you plug it in-
only one way to beat the webcam hackers… that's unplug your cam… can't hack what isn't there.
Answer:

Answer:
there are loads of videos on youtube about unsecure webcams and one video shows you links so you can view a few but its not hacking really their just unsecure or something i cant remember the correct term.
Answer:
To view your networked webcam, all anyone needs is the camera's IP Address, unless you use good network security for the entire network. If your router is secured, there is less chance of anyone gaining unauthorized access. By the way, it is a criminal act to intrude on anyone's private property by hacking or "borrowing" their webcam, and you can be arrested for it.
