Nearly three years on, debate over what was known before the Hamas attack continues to fuel demands for answers and accountability. Share Nearly three years after the 7 October attacks, one question continues to haunt public debate: could the tragedy have been prevented? As more testimony, intelligence reports, media investigations and political statements emerge, scrutiny remains fixed on whether Israeli authorities possessed warnings that pointed to an impending Hamas operation and, if so, whether those warnings were adequately acted upon. At the centre of the discussion is the Nova music festival, held near the Gaza border, where hundreds of civilians found themselves caught in one of the deadliest attacks in Israel's history.

Being Watched Through Your Laptop Webcam: The Silent Cyber Threat We Ignore


For years, people laughed at the idea of sticking tape over their laptop webcam. It seemed paranoid, even absurd, to assume someone was watching. Yet here we are, facing the uncomfortable truth: hackers are indeed exploiting webcams to spy, steal, and blackmail. What was once dismissed as a conspiracy is now a chilling reality.

A fake urgent email, a text demanding immediate action, or a seemingly harmless attachment can grant hackers access to your camera. Suddenly, your daily routine is under surveillance.

This raises a controversial question: how much are we willing to sacrifice for technology?

The irony is stark: the more connected we become, the more exposed we are. And yet, society shrugs, accepting surveillance as the price of progress.  This isn’t about fearmongering—it’s about awareness. Hackers thrive on our ignorance, and the only way to fight back is to stay informed. Cover your webcam, question every urgent link, and remember: being watched through our laptop webcam is not science fiction, it’s the new frontline of cybercrime.
