This short film was created three years ago, but it is still relevant today. While the events in the story may seem far-fetched, it is based on actual events. There have been many cases of hackers taking over computers’ built-in cameras, and the best way to stop those situations is to be aware of the danger. Use your camera responsibly, and if you’re not currently using it, what’s the harm in covering it up? You can simply put a cute, mini post-it over it.
Here’s the description found below the video:
“Webcam” is based on actual events and was shot entirely on a computer’s webcam.
The filmmakers hope that it will make people think more about the technology that
we use every day and the effects it can have on all of us.
