What, you don't? That indicator light is one firmware hack away from being turned off. Granted, if someone gets into my laptop I have bigger worries than having stealth selfies stolen, but still.
- marquis-chacha 7y agoThe way I see it, if the adversary is able to remotely access my computer to the extent they're hacking the firmware, my webcam being turned on is the least of my concerns. In my eye, taping the webcam is akin to ROT13'ing my private keys.
