Why should you always close your webcam?

Earlier this year, FBI director James Camey aroused serious controversy when he admitted that he was closing the webcam of his personal computer with adhesive tape.

Unexpected statements

The idea that the chief of the most advanced intelligence in the world is experiencing the need to resort to such ancient anti-hacker tricks has become a surprise for many. But the real problem that arose with Cameo's comments was that he had previously claimed that users should not try to make their devices unbreakable, as this hinders national security efforts. Nevertheless, in an interview with the US Department of Justice, Kamei not only confirmed his previous comments. According to him, all citizens should do the same if they want to protect their own private life.

Kamay admitted that he is still closing his webcam, although he says that he is often laughed at because of this. This is his way of taking care of personal safety. Moreover, other people should also take responsibility for their own safety.

Why should my webcam be closed?

Answering the question about why it is worth closing your webcam with a film, he replied that there are some reasonable things that you should do, and this is one of them. He also confirmed that he is not the only FBI member who resorts to this technique. If you visit any government agency, you will be able to see that many employees use a small cover for the top of the screen that closes the webcam.

"You must do this so that people who do not have the authority to do this, could not watch you," Camey explained.

Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the FBI director urged citizens to work on "safety hygiene" and less to trust their devices. This means that we must take matters into our own hands and do not rely solely on the fact that manufacturers protect our gadgets.
