MemberOkay I searched for this and all I found are the posts debating whether or not someone can watch your cam without you knowing. I mostly use my cam with my boyfriend, but sometimes I get bored and let anyone watch me so I can meet new people or whatever, so a lot of people have me on their lists and try to view my cam. Well the other night my bf was watching and no one else, I had it set so all other requests were denied. Then a little while later this guy I’ve never talked to before IMs me and tells me how nice my tits are and I’m like whatever you’ve never seen them and then he’s like oh well if I didn’t see you flash on your webcam just now I wouldn’t have these pictures would I and he transferred me a pic(I ran a virus scan right after I got the file and then deleted it) and sure enough it was from my cam from earlier.
Someone has to know how to fix this? Or maybe someone can point me to where I’d start looking for something to fix it. I talked to someone awhile ago who warned me about people hacking into my cam and she said that they go through an open port right when the cam is starting up, and if you’re in super mode it’s easier for them to get in because the ports stay open, that’s what makes it run faster. So maybe I need to regulate these ports or something? Or maybe to know if anyone else is watching I can look at my netstat and see who’s on the cam port? I don’t understand this very well…any help would be appreciated, thanks

Memberuh that’s the thing…I had my settings so that no one could watch that is why I said he HACKED into it. He wasn’t on my list of viewers.

MemberAre you sure your bf wasn’t using another name and sending them back to you to see if you were being faithful on the webcam?? Men sometimes don’t trust women even though they should. Otherwise, I’d say what I often do in cases like this: Don’t do anything on the cam you wouldn’t want your parents to see. I hope if this IS a guy doing this that all of us here can figure out who he is and “take him down.” NO ONE needs to be spied on!
