I started doing it because I _never_ use the camera and it took about 30 seconds. It's a _very_ minor piece of security, but it costs nothing. Incidentally, it was due to a (very obviously fake) spam email: > You probably noticed your device is acting strangely lately. That's because you downloaded a nasty software I created while you were browsing the Ƿornographic website... > The software automatically: > 1) Started your Ƈamera and begun recoding you, uploading the footage to my server...[...] > If you do not do what I ask you now, I will upload this ugly video file with you ... and the stuff you were watching to several video upload sites and I will send the links to all your friends, family members and associates.[...] > I think 2,000 USD is a fair price for my silence. I know you can handle to send me this money - and it is enough for me to get lost. So how do you send the cash?? Bitcoin. I wasn't worried about it being real, but being able to dismiss it out of hand is useful.
