Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question. Mods please move if it is suited better elsewhere. Thanks.

On 2 occasions over the last week I've noticed the light for my webcam coming on. It stays on for about a minute and then turns off. I've heard awful stories about people hacking into webcams.

Thanks.
