immoral -> lets talk teamviewer computer hacking (8/21/2013 8:45:28 AM)
|
Whilst on my travels. I noticed that some people who are looking for submissives on the WWW- are getting them to use teamviewer.
does anyone else get a cold shudder when they see this ?
they think they are signing up for a happy happy circle jerk - but instead they can be a sad sad 3dog.
my understanding is this
1. teamviewer is a remote access tool for access to another persons computer.
2.Yes TeamViewer is safe, the connection is secure and if you don't like what the person on the other end is doing you can terminate the connection
3 when you install the program you can set it up so that you have to approve every action the remote user does.
HOWEVER THIS IS VERY EASY TO ALTER WHEN YOU HAVE REMOTE ACCESS AND ARENT LOOKING
TeamView is secure but if someone has a TeamViewer ID for one of your machines and you haven't set TeamViewer up to generate a new key at the end of the session, that person could log back into your system at a later date without your knowledge
4 THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GET ACCESS TO YOUR CAM AND FILES ANY TIME THEY LIKE AND DOWNLOAD PROGRAMS TO TAKE PASSWORDS LOG KEYSTROKES AND BASICALLY SEE ANYTHING YOU DO WITH YOUR COMPUTER.hack your banking log on personal messages friends and family facebook really anything .....you name it
Charities and police have warned that computer hackers are able to watch victims through their laptop webcams.
The practice - known as 'Ratting' (for 'Remote Administration Tool') - is a variation of standard virus or malware attacks which have affected computers for decades.
By coaxing users to install malicious software on their computers,( OR DOWNLOADING IT WHILE THE OTHER PERS0N IS BUSY AND NOT LOOKING ) hackers are able to access video feeds from any webcam without the user knowing that they're watching.
The phenomenon was detailed in an extensive investigation by Ars Technica earlier this year, and now BBC 5 Live has produced its own report, which includes calls by British police and charities for users to be more vigilant.
The BBC report quotes Rachel Hyndman, a 20-year-old student who says hackers may have watched her while she watched a DVD in the bath. She says her webcam was switched on without her knowledge while the computer was (presumably) safely placed away from the water.
Hyndman said in the report: "I was sitting in the bath, trying to relax, and suddenly someone potentially has access to me in this incredibly private moment and it's horrifying.
"To have it happen to you without your consent is horribly violating."
The BBC report also detailed how access to compromised computers is bought and sold online - $1 for a woman's webcam, or a single cent for access to a man's machine - and also quotes a hacker who said he did it for a "laugh
any thoughts anyone ?[:D]
