No wonder the spooks can get such info on us

Argh.....enter

Was looking at a website called shodanhq.com and if you enter the correct search phrases its easy to tap into webcams across the world

with most people never setting passwords etc for netgear gear you can just log in by default with the username "admin" with no password

Oh ok there it is, nothing a piece of tape or a post it note cant handle besides that people are willing to dump info out without the need to take it they just give it

Sorry for f-ing it up at the start

But it shows how easy it is for the spooks to watch us if we don't even put the most basic effort into protecting our privacy

What people need to realise is that the device they use to watch over their kids etc is open by default so the best advice is to read the manual and if theres a mention of the word password then go and change it..while i'm sure the NSA can bypass the password in a few moments it'll stop them doing driveby watching of you

Several years ago I spent many evenings searching for web cams. Very interesting it was too. They are all over the place.
People set them up on purpose for people to find. I found some that were pointed at amazing gardens people were growing and wanted to show off. Then there's those over roadways and in the highstreets all over the world, and of course you find the occasional cam looking into someones bedroom!! but I didn't look at those

Will note the addy for when I've got a bit more bandwidth
