A cybersecurity expert has revealed the tell-tale signs that hackers are using your webcam or smartphone camera to spy on you.
Tove Marks from VPNOverview outlined the top three signs to be on the lookout for: An extortionist contacting you, a blinking webcam or camera light and the device’s battery draining faster than usual.
