This is a great post, I stumbled across your story while looking for some random stuff. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to recommend this site to others.
IF you are a woman you should be very careful with your webcam. Mine would get hacked so many times by crazy stalkers that I ended up getting a Mac (knock on wood that there are no problems so far). Most of the hackers were from the China mainland according to the IP addresses that were traced back there. When they get into a windows PC they can take over the camera where they can turn it on without any software notifying you and the red light doesn’t even come on! It’s very frustrating to say the least, not to mention embarrassing! Stay safe!
