In a revelation that has shocked absolutely no one, it turns out that Lenovo webcams have a secret hobby: moonlighting as digital ninjas, stealthily awaiting commands from their hacker overlords. According to cybersecurity researchers who clearly have too much time on their hands, these cameras have been caught red-lensed trying to audition for the next James Bond movie as the tech-savvy villain’s favorite gadget.
Forget about protecting your passwords. These webcams have taken it a notch up by opening their own virtual typing schools—unbeknownst to you, of course. Thanks to a delightful flaw, they can inject keystrokes into your system, proving once and for all that the USB slot is the real threat, not that dodgy email from a ‘Nigerian prince.’
Experts from Eclypsium who discovered this say the webcams could launch attacks independent of the host operating system. But don’t worry, as Lenovo plans to address this, right after they finish teaching their webcams how to play chess and offer relationship advice. So, until then, feel secure knowing your webcam is now capable of more than just ruining Zoom meetings with unflattering angles.
