| Being watched through your own webcam http://rt.com/usa/news/vulnerable-ha...-internet-189/ Internet users, beware: new security research has revealed that 40-50 million network-enabled device can be hacked and controlled remotely, with vulnerable products including cameras, printers and routers. By hijacking personal devices like cameras, hackers can easily watch the every move of the device's owner and invade the privacy of millions of users. Unless Internet users take steps to ensure their network’s security, tens of millions could be at risk of having their information stolen, being watched through their own webcams, or having their devices destroyed.

| I don't use my camera, so I have it turned off in the Hardware Manager. Oh, they're talking more about web-enabled standalone cams, not so much computer webcams. Yes, easy to hack, especially if they are WiFi.

Anybody spying at me through my camera will do nothing but alternate between boredom and mild disgust. Let em look. I put all my O-faces on Instagram anyway.
