FBI Advice: Cover Your Laptop Camera

Stop snoopers...

A simple security measure: Cover your laptop camera from prying eyes.

Former FBI director James Comey recently recommended that we all cover our webcams with tape for security reasons.  Comey believes that doing so is a simple step for people to "take responsibility for their own safety and security," Violet Blue reported on engadget.com a few years ago.

That's still good advice, especially in light of all the hacking reports in the news in the past year.
