Protectstar Camera Guard
Put an end to spying and unsightly taping. Not only millions of users but also the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and former FBI chief James Comey are taping over the webcam of their devices. Everything and everyone is being spied on. We have known this since June 2013, when the first NSA documents by whistleblower Edward Snowden were published. But not only hackers found ways to misuse the webcam without a warning signal to the user: Also, the latest malware is highly dangerous because it specifically targets control of the integrated device camera. Then, with just one click, protection is enabled, and Camera Guard blocks and monitors processes that try to access your device's camera. Any security breach is reported. You can easily choose which apps on your device can access your camera or webcam. With Deep Detective, we have created an intelligent and versatile detective that monitors all accesses of the macOS device.
