While the online video or text chatting phenomenon may seem light-hearted or fun, it’s important to understand the dangers of logging onto a website that lacks any moderation. Plus, using a virtual private network doesn’t stop people from accessing your data, meaning you or other users are put at extreme risk.ĭespite the age restrictions on Omegle, it still easily admits anyone to use the site and exposes your location to online snoops and cybercriminals.
Multiple videos of strangers hacking other users’ accounts, spewing hate slurs and speech, or exposing unwanted nudity have been captured on Omegle, which leads users to want an alternative.
