1984: Who is watching you?


iconThe Register reports that all sorts of security cameras are accessible via the Internet, and voyeurs have been able to find them by doing a simple Google search.

Searching on certain strings within a URL sniffs out networked cameras that have Web interfaces permitting their owners to view them remotely, and even direct the cameras' motorized pan-and-tilt mechanisms from the comfort of their own desktop.

Video surfers are using this knowledge to peek in on office and restaurant interiors, a Japanese barnyard, women doing laundry, the interior of an Internet collocation facility, and a cage full of rodents, among other things, in locales scattered around the world.

In today's camera infested society, someone could be watching you right now. If you're surfing nekkid, maybe you should put some clothes on.
