This is how the iphone camera spies on users

Apple devices have always been famous for their security. Something of which the American firm is proud and often emphasizes frequently. Although, unfortunately it is not entirely true to say that they are the safest devices on the market. A recent report shows that the iPhone's camera can be used to spy on users, and it's not too complicated.

All they have to do is hijack the applications that have access to the camera. Research has been published showing how an attack of this nature can be carried out. Hackers can access both cameras and take photos or record users.

Spy on users with iPhone camera

In fact, if they want to, they can even make live broadcasts taking advantage of this failure on the iPhone. The main problem is that the user is not aware of this at any time. No warning is displayed, so Apple should do something about it. An indicator showing that the camera has been activated, like the one that appears when the location is activated, could be useful to the user.

This way they know that the camera of their iPhone is activated. Currently Apple has already been informed about this problem, so it is assumed that they are working on a solution. Users are recommended to use covers that cover the camera when not in use.

Also check which apps have access to iPhone camera and not give them access to all. Also keep the phone updated at all times to avoid any security problem that can be accessed by those who can hijack the phone's camera.
