The way technology and software are going these days, I'm becoming very apprehensive of all my devices connected to the internet. As a techy guy, I can't help but imagine someone may be spying on me through my front phone and laptop camera. Its not impossible. I've googled it and it happens like everyday. I most scared of all these apps popping here and there; Snapchat, face time, Facebook,Whatsapp, Instagram etc. These software companies, governments and hackers could be spying on someone without their knowledge. I was just watching a moving where hackers used this to blackmail a dude and it sent chills on me. I have started taping my front cams when not in use o.
Have you ever thought of possibility of this happening? And how would you react if you find out someone's been spying on you for a while now.

For every picture of Mark Zuckerberg with his laptop, the front camera is always taped.

Your phone camera AND mic can be hacked, even if/when the phone is off. FACT!

Only if/when the battery is removed, you can be 110% sure that no one is snooping.

My laptop camera is always blocked using a tape. Since I can't block my phone's camera, I always assume someone is watching. So when I absolutely do not want anyone to watch me, I place the phone inside a locker. grin
