Find out who's watching you through camera
Both huge companies and ordinary hackers can try to get access to your camera for their own purposes. In both cases, you probably won't even know it's there.
One of the few ways to know if your camera is being tracked is with the help of Procesed Explorer (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer) utility. The software was created by Microsoft Corporation, so it's effective.
Press Win + R to open "Device Manager", run devmgmt.msc and tap "Details".
In the list select "Physical Device Object Name" - \Device\0000009c.
Copy this name, download it and run it as administrator.
Type the name of the webcam in the search box and click on "Search" with the binoculars icon.
That's it: you'll see the processes and applications that use the camera. See the details or complete them, if you want.
Try it!
