Recently i have noticed something suspicious with my smartphone.The camera app has been opening itself even when the phone is not in use.The other day,i was at the field and happened to check on the time from my phone.Then i suddenly found the camera preview on.Damn!I mean this is suspicious 'cause this is not the first time.One answer that crossed my mind was ,could someone be spying on me?And what strengthened my suspicions was the fact each time  this happened the camera switched from the rear to front.How that happened i'm still trying to figure out.
    Well,i went on a research spree on the internet and found out i was not the only one.Others android users have also been experiencing the same issue.Then this article happened.I was on my ritual research then came across this article by Patrick Howell O'Neill on  dailydot.com .It stated ;

     According to researcher Syzmon
Sidor, your smartphone camera can
spy on you without so much as a
notification to tip you off. The spy
app, which doesn’t even show up in
the phone’s list of installed

   How is the spy app installed without the owner noticing?Well this could happened over Wifi.In this case i'm referring to unsecured wifi which lets a third party see your communication with your laptop or smartphone.A malicious hacker can inject  codes of the spy app into a 'clean' Google app from the play store.In the event you are downloading the app,you also download the injected spy app attached to the clean app.When its the turn to install,the codes of the spy app get' runned' and just like that the spy app is disguised in your phone. You can read on the Google play store flaw
   This clearly exposes a flaw in the android camera.This is inexcusable .The fact that  Android is tricked into
believing a legitimate preview is
running shocks me.This leaves me with the question of privacy breach.Come to think of it the camera spy app(invisible)  can breach your privacy and go as far as  recording your every activity and  your videos might be uploaded to the youtube or used in blackmail  plots by the hacker.
   If someone can hack an android camera by installing a spy app without the owner identifying the app then its time to 'run'.I just hope Google will fix this flaw.
