  Hope that's the case. Always seemed like a better idea than having it be firmware controlled.

      It is for newer macs: > If you have a new-ish Mac, don't panic--this hack is for older iSight cameras, although it's possible that newer Mac cameras have their own vulnerabilities.

        Can you confirm that new Macs are safe? This sentence doesn't do that.
