My thoughts too. He could have already known her passwords and set up remote access beforehand

This story makes me glad my tv is an old RCA from 1992.

I have black tape over my camera eye on my laptop. If I need to use the camera, I can peel it off.

This story makes me glad I don’t have a webcam and that I dumped my cable tv years ago. If my television dies (I still watch DVDs) and I have to buy a new one with spyware, it will not be connected to the internet.

There’s a website out there that lets anyone monitor in real time any number of tens of thousands of IP cameras that haven’t had their default passwords changed.
Put one of these up without changing the password, you may as well live in a glass enclosure at the mall.

Not much you can do about...turn off the laptop?

my dtr's computer received this scary warning suddenly from the "FBI" stating that she was looking at illegal content....to top it off, there was a picture of her sitting there, with our kitchen in the background....
from then on ALL of us have taped over the webcam.....
I know it was a virus but still, it was too close to home if they can do that...

Seems to me the ultimate solution is to prevent the laptop from being hacked, period.

Honey, from these comments, I see we are far from the only ones who use black electrical tape on our laptop webcam lens (and thicker covering for the mics on it, too).

In America, Television Watches You.Yep, but once the government writes software to troll those camera devices for images of terrorist activity, they'll insist that they need to record everything we do because it's the only way to fight terrorism. But they promise they won't look at the videos unless something gets flagged by their software.

On your laptop, yes. But it defeats the purpose of all those other IP cameras that everyone thinks they need to watch over their precious stuff.
