https://wccftech.com/zoom-macos-hack-users-webcam/ > Webcam hacks are something that keeps every well-informed computer or smartphone user on their toes. Users are often advised to keep their webcams covered unless using them, and manufacturers such as Apple equip their devices with a light that turns on if the webcam is activated. While the integrity of such indicators is a subject of debate, we’ve got a big vulnerability for Apple’s macOS today. This vulnerability isn’t the company’s fault though. Instead, the onus for its blame lies on the popular video chat app Zoom. Take a look below for more details. > If you’re using Zoom, then you might be at risk. In a vulnerability discovered by security researcher Jonathan Leitschuh, a vulnerability in the app can allow hackers to gain access to your Mac’s webcam. This is a result of Zoom’s app creating a web server in macOS which allows the machine to accept requests that regular browser will not. This, in turn, allows a website to forcefully join a user in a video call, with the user’s webcam activated.
