Mainers Shopping Online Should Cover Their Laptop Camera.
According to the New York Times, even Mark Zuckerberg covers his photo, video and audio portals and we should too. it's not just high profile people that are targets, and it's considered a basic security measure to do so. If you go to a security conference, you will have a hard time finding a computer that doesn't have tape on it. Cyber criminals can easily get photos and audio from your camera and mic that can be used for voyeurism or extortion. They can record your keystrokes to get your passwords and sensitive information. Hey it's just a piece of tape, but it could save you some serious headaches. My camera is covered with part of an "Inside Out" sticker that my daughter got at the dentist office.
