Hacker outsmarts Ghaziabad scammer, exposes identity through Webcam hijack
Ghaziabad: A tech-savvy individual exposed an alleged scammer in Ghaziabad after infiltrating his laptop and hijacking his webcam feed.
The accused, identified as Manish Kumar, is alleged to have been running a tech support fraud operation from his apartment. His method reportedly involved posing as Anti-Virus Guard (AVG) support, using fake Google ads to lure victims, and then seeking remote access to their computers under the pretext of solving fabricated issues.
The revelations surfaced after an X user, who goes by the handle NanoBaiter, claimed to have gained access to Kumar’s device while countering a scam attempt. “When I hacked into his laptop and switched on the live webcam feed, he instantly panicked and blocked the camera view with his hand,” the user posted.
According to the account, the hacker managed to extract files, monitor Kumar’s screen in real time, and even download sensitive identification documents, including his Aadhaar card, PAN card, and passport. He further claimed to have matched the photos from the documents with Kumar’s live webcam feed, confirming his identity.
The incident has since gone viral on social media, with many users applauding the hacker’s actions. Some even claimed to recognize the apartment complex shown in the screenshots and urged the police to take immediate action.
NanoBaiter also tagged the Ghaziabad Police and Uttar Pradesh Police, calling for an investigation into Kumar’s alleged activities. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter.

New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
