Following up on the webcam blocking feature\u2019s 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.<\/em><\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n

ShieldApps Webcam Blocker, <\/strong>ShieldApps\u2019 most recently deployed product, prevents and blocks any attempt to breach a computer\u2019s webcam and microphone \u2013 a phenomenon with a worrying growth in popularity among hackers and information-phishing 3^{rd<\/sup> parties.<\/p>\n}

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital black markets and forums on the Dark Web sell access to compromised webcams for as little as $1. Furthermore, 3^{rd<\/sup> party advertisers and analytics companies are utilizing security breached apps and advanced technologies to listen-in on users\u2019 activity, gather data \u2013 and provide a more user-tailored advertising and experience. Our customers can\u2019t have that, and will settle or nothing less than complete privacy.\u201d- said Moshe Layani, ShieldApps Software Innovations President<\/strong>.<\/p>\n}
