Hello There.

So i got my new webcam today. pretty decent cam however i always feel uneasy while the cam just stairs at me. Thinking that anyone can be looking at me.

It has a blue LED showing when it's active however can hackers hack into the webcam while disabling the blue LED light?

Just curious. My pc seems virus free just a question of worrie.
P.S

You should install an antivirus just to be on the safe side.

In theory, yes. The blue light can be caused to be off while the camera is running.
A small strip of painters tape would prevent anyone from seeing you.
