Some hackers somewhere on the web discovered a way to activate inactive webcams when they are not in use. Not only that, they have found a way to activate them without turning on the alert light on the camera! Apparently this was in the news yesterday and I had to share it with y'all, 'cuz that shits SCARY!
The best way to combat it is to either have your cam facing a wall when you are not using it, keep it covered when you are not using it, or unplug it from your machine when not using it.
