Most laptops with built-in cameras have an important privacy feature ”” a light that is supposed to turn on any time the camera is in use. But Wolf says she never saw the light on her laptop go on. As a result, she had no idea she was under surveillance.
That wasn’t supposed to be possible. While controlling a camera remotely has long been a source of concern to privacy advocates, conventional wisdom said there was at least no way to deactivate the warning light. New evidence indicates otherwise.
Yeah, but hackers can’t remotely peel off a Post-It note covering the camera lens! 🙂

Maybe an Amazon delivery drone could be hacked to do it. :/
