    Breached webcam and baby monitor site flagged by watchdogs

    Breached webcam and baby monitor site flagged by watchdogs

    The public is being warned about a website containing thousands of live feeds to baby monitors, stand-alone webcams and CCTV systems.


    Data watchdogs across the world have drawn attention to the Russian-based site, which broadcasts footage from systems using either default passwords or no log-in codes at all.


    The site lists streams from more than 250 countries and other territories.


    It currently provides 500 feeds from the UK alone.

    This doesn't surprise me, how many people change the default password on a bit of kit they have brought, not many I bet, its the same as how the phone hackers worked, no one changed the mobile companies set codes of 0000 or similar so it was easy to access the recorded messages.
