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

Solution
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.
