ShieldApps Software Innovations Deploys the first standalone Webcam and Microphone Blocker for Windows
(Taken from a PR release – November 20, 2017)
Following up on the webcam blocking feature’s overwhelming popularity with the recent launch of its Identity Theft Prevention product, ShieldApps quickly responds with a standalone product, available for Windows and Android devices..
ShieldApps Webcam Blocker, ShieldApps’ most recently deployed product, prevents and blocks any attempt to breach a computer’s webcam and microphone – a phenomenon with a worrying growth in popularity among hackers and information-phishing 3rd parties.
The newly added software provides the users with a single click protection option, effectively blocking any access attempt to the webcam and microphone both externally and by locally installed applications.
“The digital black markets and forums on the Dark Web sell access to compromised webcams for as little as $1. Furthermore, 3rd party advertisers and analytics companies are utilizing security breached apps and advanced technologies to listen-in on users’ activity, gather data – and provide a more user-tailored advertising and experience. Our customers can’t have that, and will settle or nothing less than complete privacy.”- said Moshe Layani, ShieldApps Software Innovations President.
