Before, one of my best buddies told me, "It was so freaky. I saw my webcam's lens move. Someone was watching me. I was so freaked out."
I'm not sure if she was telling the truth. Lols. But, I believe her all the way. Anyways, I just want to know.. is it possible to watch someone through their webcam without them knowing? Because.. that's scary. If this topic's already made.. feel free to close.  and move if it's in the wrong place. =x

My friend's webcam is like that...and before her computer got hacked. So now she keeps a cloth over her webcam so they can't see anything.
If there are people watching, of course... |

Eek.. One time I thought I saw the lens move too!
 Then I unplugged my webcam. After that, I would take out my webcam if I wasn't using it...  :]

yah I heard about that but half the time my webcam's pic are blurry since I play around the focus dial on mine. But what's freaky are those Motion detection webcams..they move when you move.

 the Ray... it filters through Group: Member Posts: 575 Joined: Dec 2004 Member No: 76,081 |
You can MAKE someone else see you.. that's the whole purpose of a webcam.. but yeah someone can hack it too.. but if someone hacked it.. why would they make the lens move? It'd give 'em away.
