the answer is yes.
the one you should really come to grips on is...
with your computer off, they can power on your network card, upload software and have it open the mic and listen.
all without the machine booting up

On a Mac, you have to specifically allow "Wake for network activity" otherwise it will not happen. Also, Apple has hardwired the camera light on iMacs and MacBooks so that if the camera comes on, the light will light. No software way to avoid that.

So physically disconnect it from the 120 and or the network.
