Am I paranoid or what?
 
I put a double layer of smiley stickers over the "camera" on my computer. The odds are probably very low of anyone hacking into this computer to see what I am doing - or me accidentally in that program - but still - - - -

I put a post it up there. some guy on shark tank was selling something 'computerish' to cover it and they said doesn't everyone put a post it over it. you're not paranoid!!!! there are a lot of crazies out there.

It is makes sense to cover the camera eye!

There was an intruder who hacked into a baby monitor and was yelling for the baby to wake up.
So hackers can hack anything.

Never even occurred to me! Have heard discussions about it before but never remember by the time I get to the computer. I figure I'll just scare anyone that hacks in with my appearance in the AM's that will cause them to never want to hack in again!

I folded a piece of paper over the computer to cover the camera. When the grandkids call me on Face time they have to remind me to move it. But if anyone hacked in they would see my kitchen sink.

I wouldn't have one of those things on my computer.

I keep the clip on light over the camera lens on mine. It's like a small book light, just enough to see the keyboard in the dark.

Not that anyone would see anything exciting. Unless you count watching a cat sleep exciting. Or me giving the monitor the evil eye when the bad guy in my video game kills me...lol

Me too! Have given over remote access twice with new OS and it only hit my brain last night...put a post- it over. Seems all computers come with camera now. Think I disabled it on Win10 - hope so'
