Porn users’ worst fear has come true: hackers can now secretly film people through their webcams while they watch porn. Security experts at Proofpoint claim to have found a piece of malicious software that allows hackers to capture video from their victims’ webcams without them knowing. The software, known as ‘PsiXBot,’ only works on computers running Microsoft Windows, and is often loaded on to a computer without the user knowing.
It can be installed through a sketchy website or by downloading a video, music file or software that is carrying it. Once PsiXBot has been installed on the victim’s machine, it sits in the background waiting for the user to open a web page with a specific pornography-related keyword in the title, which then triggers the software to start filming the user through the computer’s camera. Security experts say, “Now the threat is real and the program has already been distributed thousands of times,” warning users to be cautious when browsing porn.
