Don't look at me!

After the news about a ring of folks apparently using Blackshades malware to spy on folks using built-in cameras, I accidentally launched Microsoft Lync earlier today. Which immediately grabbed a shot of me peering at the screen!

So, I spent a few minutes folding up a Post-it so it would hang in front of the camera on the top of my desktop. Add a couple of staples for stability, and... voila!

If you happen to hack into my system and try looking out of the camera, you will see nothing.

Built-in cameras should have lens caps, but if they don't, a little bit of tape and paper will do the job.
