If hackers get a hold of your webcam, they can easily turn your life into a reality show without your consent. Back in 2014, someone put up a website that showed live feeds from people's CCTVs, baby monitors and webcams, while a hacker live streamed footage from people's computers on YouTube last year. In some instances, hackers use the victims' webcams to take sensitive photos, like what happened to Miss Teen USA 2013 Cassidy Wolf.

Despite the dangers of leaving webcams uncovered, Comey was still mocked online because, as The Hill noted, people find it funny that the FBI's head honcho takes extra care of his privacy. Some reference the agency's efforts to force Apple into unlocking the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone, in particular. If you'll recall, Apple didn't budge, and the feds had to pay a third party for a tool to unlock the device. Comey defended himself during his talk, however, telling attendees that "It's not crazy that the FBI director cares about personal security as well."
