The original iSight webcams have a physical white shutter in front of the lens.

I tape mine up, but wish I had a better method for the mic.

Re: Zuckerbeg masks Mac webcam

When you have someone as high-profile as Mark Zuckerberg, a little extra security is a good thing.
It's been known for a good while now that headphone ports can be used for getting unidirectional audio through hacking.
I'd be surprised if the USB ports on his Mac weren't also disabled as well.

Same here. So do my wife and kids - in fact they did it independently of me.
