A new Flash based flaw in Google Chrome allows webcam hackers to grab video and audio from a compromised computer without getting the user’s permission. Google recently imposed a seven day deadline for vendors to respond to security bug reports. The rapid growth of laptop computers with built-in web cameras substantially increases the risk of webcam hacking, privacy invasion, and other types of cybercrime (e.g., bullying, hate crimes, stalking, etc.) Google recently announced there was an issue but said it was limited to Flash Player for Google Chrome.
