And what about all your data? (photos, emails, texts, browsing history, passwords, etc) If an attacker has compromised my computer to such an extent that they’s be able to record me, I’d be more worried about access to my private data than I am about being photographed through the webcam.
Well, as this case shows, an attacker doesn’t always need to get low level access to your device in order to capture video and audio. So there is still a valid concern shot being recorded.
