If you got a pop up message about it: your camera is not hacked. But be careful of where you are getting pop up messages from. Pop up messages about hacking are almost (if not always) malicious or unwanted in of themselves. Oh and update to the IOS from last 2 days.


Apple address security issues (in the event they exist), they don’t send pop ups to users to frighten them about them.
