They can easily be hacked giving a full window into your home. I've noticed many friends lately who are getting lax about this so I thought I'd throw out a reminder.

Just disable the device or delete the driver.

If you can disable it with software, they can re-enable it with software.
You're kinda dumb.
You remove the driver.
...the driver, which is just software, and can be reinstalled? That driver? There's no reason that they couldn't detect and install the appropriate driver for your webcam.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Would you mind explaining it to me? If there's something I'm misunderstanding, I'd much rather be wrong than ignorant.
