That can be opened in another browser window, zoomed into, converted to Google Earth, then Street View in hopes of seeing an address to take into a reverse phone look-up. The results for each camera are also theoretically pinpointed with longitude and latitude on Google Maps. The site lists the camera manufacturer, default login and password, time zone, city and state.
HACKED IP CAM VIDEOS PASSWORD
It is their lives and their cameras to do with as they think best, but “best” surely doesn’t include using a default username and password on those cameras so that families provide peep shows to any creep who wants to watch. I wanted to warn and help people who unwittingly opened a digital window to view into their homes, so I tried to track down some security camera owners with the hopes of helping them change the default username and password. So many cameras are setup to look down into cribs that it was sickening it became like a mission to help people secure them before a baby cam “hacker” yelled at the babies. There was a baby sleeping in a crib in Canada, courtesy of an unsecured Foscam camera, the brand of camera most commonly listed when pointing down at cribs. In Virginia, a woman sat on the floor playing with a baby the camera manufacturer was Linksys. Randomly clicking around revealed an elderly woman sitting but a few feet away from a camera in Scotland. There were lots of businesses, stores, malls, warehouses and parking lots, but I was horrified by the sheer number of baby cribs, bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens all of those were within homes where people should be safest, but were awaiting some creeper to turn the “security surveillance footage” meant for protection into an invasion of privacy. Sure, a geek could Google Dork or use Shodan to end up with the same results, but that doesn’t mean the unsecured surveillance footage would be aggregated into one place that’s bound to be popular among voyeurs.
In this case, it’s not just one manufacturer. Businesses may be fine with that, but cameras that are not truly locked down in homes invite privacy invasions.
Security cameras are supposed to offer security, not provide surveillance footage for anyone to view. A year ago, in the first action of its kind, the FTC brought down the hammer on TRENDnet for the company’s “ lax security practices that exposed the private lives of hundreds of consumers to public viewing on the Internet.” The last big peeping Tom paradise listing had about 400 links to vulnerable cameras on Pastebin and a Google map of vulnerable TRENDnet cameras this newest collection of 73,011 total links makes that seem puny in comparison.
HACKED IP CAM VIDEOS PLUS
Like the site said, you can see into “bedrooms of all countries of the world.” There are 256 countries listed plus one directory not sorted into country categories. 2,268 in the Netherlands 2,220 in Colombia and 1,970 in India. There are 40,746 pages of unsecured cameras just in the first 10 country listings: 11,046 in the U.S. But that requires knowing the site exists. According to FAQs, people who choose not to secure their cameras can write the site administrator and ask for the URL to be removed. Change the defaults to secure the camera to make it private and it disappears from the index. Truthfully, I was torn about linking to the site, which claims to be “designed in order to show the importance of security settings ” the purpose of the site is supposedly to show how not changing the default password means that the security surveillance system is “available for all Internet users” to view. 1 for unsecured security cameras: Creepy site linked to over 5,700 in U.S. locations, more than any other country one link could have up to 8 or 16 channels, meaning that’s how many different security camera views were displayed on one page. The site, with an IP address from Russia, is further broken down into insecure security cameras by the manufacturers Foscam, Linksys, Panasonic, some listed only as “IP cameras,” as well as AvTech and Hikvision DVRs. Yesterday I stumbled onto a site indexing 73,011 locations with unsecured security cameras in 256 countries …unsecured as in “secured” with default usernames and passwords.
