Wannabe Hackers Using YouTube to Access Webcams Remotely
CNN Is reporting that the Digital Citizens Alliance, a nonprofit advocacy group, has uncovered thousands of YouTube videos teaching wannabe hackers how to gain access to victims' webcams and computers. Hackers are able to remotely access users' webcams by installing malware called a remote access Trojan, or RAT. While this type of malware is nothing new, the online tutorials are making hacking easier than ever.
