SkieGod Cyber Access: Skype For Android Quietly accesses your phone’s camera

Skype For Android Quietly accesses your phone’s camera

Saturday 28 December 2013

Are you a Skype user? If so, you better be careful because someone might keep an eye on you. With an active internet connection, Skype is reported to have activated itself and will access your phone’s camera every 3 hours.
This will continue to occur despite forcing the application to stop. It is a mystery to why Skype needs to access the camera when you don’t want to use it. One Redditor got worried as he caught his Skype attempting to do so.
Redditor Catalinus was quick to reveal that the video calling application has this “catchall” feature. If any other apps or program started up, it might trigger Skype to activate. This happens regardless if the user has signed in or out.
Conspiracy theorist like Yage2006 hints that it is the work of NSA in a bid to track down people. This is strongly agreed by many Redditors such as quantastical who believe the government is constantly spying on the people.
Despite all that, there is no known reason to how this could have happened. Apparently, those who have Skype experienced this. Could it really be NSA? Or is it a case of bad programming? What are your thoughts on this?
