Woman is sent photo of 'hacker' caught trying to access her computer - it's a total shock

The laptop has a feature which sets off the camera if the password is entered incorrectly three times

In a world where we rely increasingly on technology to store our personal information, it's more and more important to keep our data protected.

Passwords can help, but in some instances they just aren't enough.

One savvy tech user had set up a feature on his laptop which set off the camera if the password was entered incorrectly three times or more.

And sure enough, one day he received an alert to his phone telling him someone was trying to hack into his laptop.

Who was the culprit? Well...

Definitely looks guilty to us. The real question is, what was she trying to do online?

Imgur user pigeonkitty explained why she has the security system set up on her laptop, saying: "It's sorta weird, but for my job I sometimes have to work at home and I was issued a USB thing that puts me on the clock and also does that.

"I plugged it into my laptop to clock in and then left for a bit because my boss wanted some journals scanned, so then kitty made her move."
