It’s time to start covering up your webcams. Even FBI director James Comey says this is one of the sensible things people can do to stop them from being spied on.

According to Mr Comey all US government offices cover up their webcams and citizens should be doing the same.

Security experts warn that if your webcam is not covered, hackers can break in and watch everything you are doing. Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg covers the webcam of his MacBook Pro.
