Recently a the Dutch government advised to put a tape on your webcam to prevent hackers from taking pictures and video using your device (news article in Dutch).
The build in iSight camera in Apple laptops have a green light next to the camera, this light turns green when you use the camera.
Is it possible to use the camera without the activation of the green light? Personally I think the green light turns on when the sensor requires power and this is hardwired in the hardware. Am I wrong?
I have found similar questions on stackexchange, but I found non that answer this specific question.
