Which spyware is designed for video surveillance, secretly monitoring and recording webcams and video IM conversations?

• A. Video Spyware
• B. GPS Spyware
• C. Print Spyware
• D. Telephone/Cellphone Spyware

Answer: (A)

Video surveillance is the function being tested. Spyware of this type is designed to secretly access and record video from webcams and from video chat or video IM conversations, often without the user’s knowledge. That focus on capturing visual feeds specifically matches the description of monitoring and recording through webcams and video communications, making it the best fit for the scenario.

The other options point to different surveillance goals: GPS spyware tracks the user’s geographic location, not video; print spyware would involve covertly handling printing activity, which isn’t about video capture; telephone or cellphone spyware is aimed at monitoring calls, messages, or other phone-related data, not video surveillance.
