Just read about it yesterday. Based on that article, though, I have nothing to worry about since I have neither a webcam nor a mic.

Ok I am not seeing the problem here. How is access to a webcam or a microphone gonna give someone my bank account information or any other private information? I didn't really see any threat explained in this rather vague article.

Just more internet fear-mongering for the sake of a story. Vulnerabilities come and go, but realistically unless you're visiting some very shady sites, you don't have much to worry about it.

I totally agree with you.

I'd say it's serious, but stay away from weird sites. I run Firefox 3 with NoScript and McAfee SiteAdvisor and am, as I have said abundantly elsewhere, a skeptic. Don't let anything run that you don't tell to run and be very suspicious about sites that are not McAfee green.

(For what it's worth, I'm the retired Chief Scientist of ShopSite, so I know a little about the Web. Retired, though.)
