I work as an adult webcam performer. Recently, I’ve discovered that some of my sessions have either been recorded or somebody has access to my webcam through some sort of virus or other application and now the recordings are currently in the wrong hands.
I am very careful about downloading things, clicking links, etc. I have Norton Systemworks and Webroot – so I would think that it would be difficult for something like this to happen to me.
However, I had watched the recordings of myself and recognized a session as one I did the other night – and talked to the guy a few minutes ago and he swears up and down he didn’t do it and was looking to buy another show.
I’m not saying that I’m taking his word as truth, but I am now suspicious of the possibility that there is some sort of program that is being used to access and record my sessions.
That being said, does anybody know if there is a possibility that somebody has access to my webcam without permission and is recording my sessions? If so, what do I do?
Scan your system for trojans hiding in your PC. there are a lot of those utilities and i suggest you scan it several times with different software of course and see what you got.
it might be someone whom you allowed access to your webcam who recorded it using webcam-recording software…not trojans or keyloggers, softwares like camtasia etc…
Keep in mind that there are also programs out there that can connect to yahoo’s webcam server. They are NOT always P2P, and can connect as an [font="]anonymous, without asking for permission.
You need to keep an eye on the number of users you have connected and you will be able to see when that number changes. You may not be able to tell WHO is connected, but you should be able to see the number of users connected.
