Webcam peeking attacks target video conference participants by exploiting reflections from eyeglasses. When victims are positioned correctly, light from their screens reflects into the webcam, enabling adversaries to capture images or videos without direct interaction. The threat model assumes that the adversary can access the victim's down-link video stream through various means, including interception and recording services. The effectiveness of this attack relies on the victim’s eyewear properties and their orientation during the call, making it a concerning security risk in online interactions.
Webcam peeking attacks exploit reflections from a victim's eyeglasses during video calls, allowing adversaries to capture their video stream without active interaction.
Victims facing a screen may reflect light into their webcams, especially if their glasses have a high reflectance, facilitating unauthorized video surveillance.
