This week Checkmarx released a video exposing a vulnerability in android cameras that allows hackers to use your camera, record your conversations, and find your location, all without you knowing.

I explain how the hack works, and what you can do about it.

Biggest takeaway:
Always update your apps and your phone's OS!

This is part of my ongoing privacy series inspired by Snowden, to teach you about the vulnerabilities in your devices and give you tools to help you live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle.

Here is the full video and report of what the checkmarx team discovered:
