Default Creepy Clickjacking Bug Hackers Control Webcam

Hi All,

I came across this OMG! how much fun could you have!

A Flash Player vulnerability could allow attackers to gain control of a user's webcam and microphone, according to a security advisory issued by Adobe. The company has issued a workaround; however a patch won't come until later. As always, Web surfers should be careful where they're clicking.

I always thought that it's probably not a good idea to leave a webcam plugged in, just in case someone manages to access it without your knowledge.
