Do you have a web cam?
well i have some disturbing news for you.
Someone maybe watching everything you do from across the internet using your own web cam against you.
how?
internet cyber illegal voyeurs scour the internet electronically scanning for PC's with web cams.
They then upload their illegal cyber programs to infiltrate your PC and send the images of your web cam to their location, and all without you noticing anything.

Its sort of like how batman used people's cellphones to locate and spy on what's going on. When you have technology you are an vulnerable to those who can manipulate it, especially technology that integrates communication devices and other functions.

just a heads up.

and for all those haters instead of saying this cant happen, tell me how its not possible, or that the dirtbags of the internet, like those who filmed that espn woman nude, would not be interested in this.

HAHAHA, this has always been my worry. However my webcam stays pointed at the wall unless I'm using it (it flips around the monitor, it's robotic face-tracking style - I don't physically move it.) And if someone wants to watch me they'll get to see an overweight hairy white dude chillin' in just some gym shorts reading the news or TWW.

^please. People were copying viruses into the keyboard firmware last week, you think they can't use your camera?

Just tape a piece of paper over the integrated webcam (laptops). Is that hard?

If it is a separate webcam, ummm, turn it around so it faces the wall? I bet that's pretty hard.

the solution is not hard, what is hard is for the average person to be aware that this could happen
what seems even harder, by the posts in this thread, is realizing this thread is just a heads up and not me asking you geniuses for a solution
