I’m just gonna say this. The former head of CIA had his laptop camera taped over. If he doesn’t trust the digital toggle. Neither should you.

Did he remove his microphone? That’s the first thing I do with every new computer, physically remove the microphone. Microphones pick up much more data than cameras.

  I don’t know. Difficult to see on the outside if he removed an internal microphone or not.

Hackers have already proven that your webcam can be activated and monitored without the indicator LED even turning on.

If hackers are capable of it, you know the CIA have been doing it for even longer.
