Thiab lub vas sab (website) no yeej tau hasi tias tau muaj ntau pua tus neeg qhia tias lawv raug neeg phem tsim tej teeb meem no rau.

Ntxiv ntawd ces tej zaum yuav ua rau lawv pib ntxhawj thiab pib nrog tus neeg (phem) ntawd tham — thiab thaum yus nrog lawv tham lawm, ces yog tej yam nyuaj heev uas tsis muaj dab tsi cheem tau yus kom tsis txhob nrog lawv tham lawm.''

Ces tej neeg phem thiaj siv lub tswv yim cuam tshuam txog cov kev xav los tsim teeb meem rau tej neeg.''

Webcam scams

Cov kev dag kom tej neeg ntseeg tias lawv raug neeg phem nyiag nkag tau mus siv yus tej webcam nyiag saib yus yeej tsis yog ib co tswv yim tshiab dab tsi.

David Cook uas yog ib tug cyber security expert ntawm tsev kawm qib siab Edith Cowan University tau sau ib co lus ntawm the Conversation xyoo 2020 tias "yeej muaj ntau txheeb" tsab spam emails raug xa txhua hnub mus dag rau tej neeg tias lawv raug neeg phem nyiag siv tej webcam nyiag saib lawv.

Thiab yeej ib txwm cuam tshuam txog ib co koom haum uas paub siv technology zoo yog cov pheej nrhiav tej xov xwm thiab nyiag yees duab los yog videos yam lwm tus tsis faj txog xwb.''

Neeg phem nyiag siv yus lub webcam - 'Camfecting'

Tej zaum tej neeg cyber criminals kuj yuav muaj peev xwm nyiag siv tau yus tej webcams thiab.

Li tej zaum yus mus download ib co malware — uas ua txoj dag tias yog ib co software tseeb tiag — ces tej neeg yuav ua rau tej cyber criminals muaj peev xwm tswj tau lawv tej twj, suav cov kev siv tej webcams nrog thiab.

Tej txheej txheem no ces yog tej uas peb paub thiab hu tias yog 'camfecting'.

Xyooo 2018 ces yeej tau muaj ntau caum tus neeg Australia raug neeg phem dag cuam tshuam nrog tej xwm txheej uas tej neeg phem nyiag yees yus duab yam yus tsis paub txog.
Ces tej neeg nyiag siv yus tej devices (hackers) thiaj muaj peev xwm nruab tej malware rau tej neeg tej comptuers li lawv ua txoj dag hauv online tias lawv yog ib tug uas pab tej neeg nruab tej twj technology siv.

Txuas ntxiv ntawd ces tej yeeb yaj kiab (videos) uas lawv siv tej webcams yees tau mam raug coj mus tso rau hauv YouTube tam li yog ib co pov thawm uas lawv yuav siv tawm tsam thiab hawv tej neeg yav pem suab tias yog ib co xwm txheej muaj tseeb tiag.

Txawm li cas los Kanhere tau hais tias ntau xyoo tsis ntev los no kuj siv tau tej xwm txheej camfecting nyuaj tshaj qub ntxiv lawm, vim cov webcams tshiab yeej muaj cov operating system uas qhia tej neeg siv tias puas tso cai los tsis tso cai siv webcams.

Nws tau hais tias "Kuv xav tias yuav laug txhua nrho tej neeg no yeej nug yus tias seb yus puas tso cai siv ib yam app twg, siv microphone thiab siv koob thaij duab los yog puas kam qhia tias yus nyob rau qhov twg. Ces kuj siv tau nyuaj zog lawm tab sis tej zaum tej neeg phem kuj yeej tseem muaj peev xwm siv tau thiab.''

Yuav pov puag yus tus kheej li cas kom tsis txhob raug neeg phem siv tej webcam ntxias dag yus

Yog xav tiv thaiv kom tsis txhob raug/tsis txhob muaj tej xwm txheej no tshwm sim ces tej kws hais kom yuav tsum siv tej passwords twv tsis tau yooj yim, thiab yuav tsum tau update tej antivirus tas mus li, los yog siv tej operating system software tshiab, thiab txheeb tej programs uas muaj peev xwm siv tau tej webcams thiab microphones.
Kanhere thiaj tau taw qhia kom tej neeg tsis txhob lam tau lam nyem rau tej links uas xa nrog tej emails uas yus tsis paub tuaj rau yus los yog tsis txhob lam install tej apps los yog softwares ntawm lawm cov vas sab los yog app stores uas yus tsis paub.

Nws kuj tau hais ntxiv thiab tias tej zaum tej neeg siv yeej muaj peev xwm qhia tau tias seb puas yog lawv tau nruab tau ib cov malware rau lawv ib yam twj siv twg yog thaum siv lawm ces pheej ua rau tej roj teeb tsis kav ntev lawm.

Ces ib txhia neeg thiaj li lo ntaub nplaum tshooj rau lub koob thaij duab kom tsis txhob muaj neeg nyiag siv thaij yus.

Txawm tias Kanhere hais tias tej no yeej yog ib co tswv yim zoo, los yeej tsis muaj peev xwm yuav pov puag tau txhua yam rau tej neeg siv thiab.

Nws tau hais tias ''Kuv tus kheej los yeej tau ua li tej hais ntawd ntawm kuv lub laptop thiab, tab sis kuj yeej paub tias yeej tsis muaj peev xwm yuav pov puag tau yus txhua yam thiab. Vim yeej tseem muaj lwm txoj xub ke uas tseem muaj peev xwm nruab tau tej malware thiab.''
