Nope. The premise is they pwn ANOTHER, less secure, personal device and use the camera from the DIFFERENT device to pwn your work computer. For example, by silently installing Pegasus on some cocky "security is dumb lol" employee's 5 year out-of-date iphone via text message while they're sleeping, and use the camera from that phone to recon the password.
They probably wouldn't want the $3.50 that person has in their bank account, but ransoming corporate data pays bank, and wire transfering from a corporate account pays even better! If you're in a highly privileged position, or have access to execute financial transactions at a larger company, pwning a personal device isn't outside of the threat model.
Most likely that threat model doesn't apply to you, but perhaps at least put it under the keyboard out of plain sight?
Would you just stop.
I made one comment to you clarifying the other person's point because you clearly didn't understand what they were saying. Personally seen a couple of small companies fold because they were ransomed from a password on a post it. But you do you.
