      Idk most of what I heard about was fake stuff pretending to do that and threatening you, just cuz it took less access to show a threat than follow through. Pre-ransomware days shit. “Pay the FBI $300 via wire transfer to avoid criminal penalties” kinda shit.

    This isn’t new. Anyone who doesn’t have their webcams covered with white tape is an idiot

      My Lenovo laptop has a physical sliding switch that covers the camera and it’s a great feature.
