    This is what you show people when they say they don’t care about privacy because they have nothing to hide.

    Yet another reason why IoT crap sucks. You don’t need to put everything on the internet. This one should be obvious.

      People don’t think about that. You have to register somewhere in order to use your $12.99 cam, install some app and are good to go.

      How would a someone not interested in tech know that the footage data is stored on some online server and you are at the mercy of their itsec.

        Which is why these companies that are marketing wifi and cloud-polling devices should be held responsible for the data breaches and regulated more rigorously.

        It should be cost-prohibitive to design a smart device that sends data to a centralized server, but they do it because the upside value of having the data is so attractive. They shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind a ToS agreement with mandatory arbitration when their security is inevitably breached.

      With end to end encryption, and requiring manual key transfer (no key sync), this would not be an issue.

      Sus af bruh wtf

      Edit because im being down voted, i find it so insane that you guys are actively seeking out hacked ip cam footage from innocent people that’s being leaked online.

      There’s tons of porn on the Internet, and no reason for you all to be trying to PAY SOMEONE for non-consensual sexual footage

    Hypothetically I want to secure my home with Cameras…

    What’s the best way to do this? OSS preferably.

      No-internet cameras hooked up to local storage.

      For remote access, you could use whatever you want to use for remotely accessing local files.

    why the fuck would anyone put a camera in their bedroom, or bathroom?

    Outside of people making porn, securing the entrances to a home should be sufficient, no need to video yourself sleeping.

      They may have people working in their homes whom they do not fully trust - cleaners, maids, nannies etc.

        I live in Vietnam. This is perhaps the most common reason for use of indoor cameras here. People buy random cheap Chinese security cameras on the internet and put them in their homes. They blindly trust these cameras, which leads to what you’re seeing in this article.

      My dogs sleep in there, and we like to watch them if they’re crated during the day. While I’m home… yeah, those cameras get unplugged 10/10 times.
