Apparently a new version of the Rbot worm has the ability to take over user webcams and use them to spy on people in their offices and homes. Sneak is not too worried, being as most of the time Sneak sits dormant in front of the screen, perhaps occasionally twitching or scratching an itch. Some of his peers, the ones with the nocturnal risqué browsing habits, were more concerned, though. But only until Sneak assured them that most webcams are incapable of following speeds rivalling those of a hummingbird's wings, so it would merely look like they were very aggressively brushing some crumbs off their jumper.
