Sextortion with a twist: Spyware takes webcam pics of users watching porn

The article discusses a new form of sextortion involving spyware that takes webcam photos of users while they are watching pornographic content. The spyware is designed to monitor the user's browser for NSFW (not safe for work) content and then activate itself, capturing images of the user through their webcam. The article suggests that this type of spyware is a twist on traditional sextortion, where victims are typically threatened with the release of private or compromising material. In this case, the spyware collects the images without the user's knowledge or consent, and then uses them to extort the victim. The article highlights the growing concerns around cybersecurity and the need for users to be vigilant about their online activities and the security of their devices. It also emphasizes the importance of taking steps to protect oneself from such threats, such as keeping software up-to-date and being cautious about the content accessed online.
