I mean I do it too on my laptop (more so I don't toobin myself and less because of hacks) and prefer my desktop that doesn't have a mic or cam built in, but has there ever actually been a hack where that was an issue?

People have been saying that for probably decades but I can't remember a real world hack that attacked web cams.
