Webcam spy program grabbed secret stills of millions of Yahoo users
A clandestine security program run by the UK's surveillance agency GCHQ with the aid of the NSA captured and stored still images of millions of global webcam users, a new document leak suggests, part of a sweeping monitoring program that required no suspicion of guilt around those impacted. Optic Nerve - which in one six month period alone is said to have captured and stored more than 1.8m Yahoo accounts around the world - ran between 2008 and 2012 at least, grabbing a still every five minutes to create a privacy-intruding digital "mugshot" book security services could later use.
Other documentation indicated the Kinect camera for Xbox 360 was also being assessed as a potential data collection tool.

Lets all get Kinects and have a ton of sex in front of it! Yeah I know they were just doing "assesment" on the possibilities but who's to say it's not already happening right at this moment?
