I have a small piece from the top of a Post-it Note on each of my computers’ cameras. I wish I could do the same to my microphone on my computers and cell phone. After I heard that OnStar could be secretly turned on remotely I got a lot more paranoid about electronics.
“I’ve been doing that forever.”
I’m an auditor and always cover the camera lens for the same reasons. The last audit shop I was in had 40 or so auditors, one asked why I had a small Post-it covering my lens, and I offered my explanation.
I was tickled at the next meeting when all the laptops at the table has the same yellow squares covering their laptop cameras.
In my Dell laptop I pull the mic out.
Ne? They are always right you know.

For privacy activists, the real problem is what they see as Comey's hypocrisy. He says tech companies shouldn't make devices that are "unhackable" to law enforcement (the fight over the San Bernardino iPhone 5C being the major case in point), but the activists say that's exactly what he's done with his personal webcam.Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist and a senior policy analyst with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, accused Comey of having a double standard for his own privacy:
FBI Director Comey has created a "warrant-proof webcam" that will thwart lawful surveillance should he ever be investigated. Shame on him.
