You get up in the morning when the alarm goes off. Then, as you are getting dressed, you notice something strange. That little light at the top of your laptop screen is on. You look at it for a moment then shrug it off as just some malfunction. However, what if it isn't a glitch? What if someone is watching you? Video voyeurism is a very real, very scary crime. Thousands of hackers across the country have learned how to access webcams and they spy on victims regularly. They even socialize about their hobby in chat rooms, talking about their "slaves" (the hacker term for victims of video voyeurism). These people may look in on you when you are in bed, in the bathtub, or even changing clothes. They use all types of technology, from laptops to cell phones. Do you know what you need to protect yourself from this invasion of privacy? Do you know how to look for hidden cameras in your home or how to tell if someone has hacked your computer? If you are like most people, probably not. kNOw Peeping is a book designed to give anyone all of the information they need to protect themselves. You will learn how voyeurs work, where they go to prey on possible victims, and what you could do to protect yourself by changing your use of your computer. There are even laws in place now to give you recourse if you are spied on. The video voyeur could be lurking anywhere - behind a camera watching your home, on the street with a small recorder, or in a women's changing room at the department store with a cell phone. You need to know what you can do to protect yourself from their prying eyes. From the steps to take if you have become a victim to a quiz to test your technology knowledge, kNOw Peeping is filled with useful information so that you can stop that voyeur in their tracks.
