This article currently reads like journalism: it needs to be reworked into Wikipedia's NPOV house style. -- The Anome (talk) 11:40, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@The Anome: I don't perceive any bias in this article. What changes would be necessary in order to make this article more "neutral?" Jarble (talk) 20:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the introduction I read this: "Typically, a webcam hacker or a camfecter sends his victim an innocent-looking application which has a hidden Trojan software through which the camfecter can control the victim's webcam." Thus suggesting there are many cases of this kind reported and you can say something about "typical" procedures. But than we see only two "notable cases" at all: the FBI agent Marcus Thomas and the sentenced teenager. It seems that we have the claim of Thomas only, without any technical details about the procedures. In the article about Abrahams we find only details about his talks with the victims. In these talks he urged the victims to run their webcam and to undress. There are no details how Abrahams managed to run the webcams of his victims. So I do not see a proof that the procedure explained in the introduction really happened. --Jjkorff (talk) 22:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
