Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams

Posted by TimSlavin at January 10, 2005

"Blogs and message forums buzzed this week with the discovery that a pair of simple Google searches permits access to well over 1,000 unprotected surveillance cameras around the world - apparently without their owners' knowledge.

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."

Some amusing fun from The Register which links to the Boing Boing piece which, in turn, has links to the Google searches. I could not find the frolicking cows in Japan, however, so it is pot luck. Back to real work.
