Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International
Bedroom camera footage hacked, sold online - VnExpress International
Why the fuck do people put security cameras in their bedrooms? It's so weird to me that people do this. Even if you think (or at least thought) that you were the only one with access to the footage, won't the presence of a camera make you feel like you're being watched? Are we not on camera enough as it is that we have to be on camera in the supposed privacy of our bedrooms? Imagine if you told George Orwell that people would willingly put cameras in their most personal and private spaces.
Some do it to potentially document accidents - I know some racial minorities in my country that say they are accused of child abuse and investigated at the drop of the hat if they bring their kid to the doctor and they have any kind of bruise. I heard of a Muslim woman who lost custody of her kid for 48 hours until she was able to produce CCTV footage of her child breaking his arm in a playground accident, and not due to some act of child abuse.
So,, having a cam that catches your kid experiencing an innocuous fall wherever it may be in the house is a good security measure, particularly if the justice system comes at you preloaded with bias.
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.
it's funny the vnexpress would publish this. vietnamese people are obsessed with security cameras. they see them as a deterrent, or as a way to find the perpetrator later and get all your property back. they put them everywhere.
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.
How is the room relevant here? Is it not a grave invasion of privacy regardless in which room of the house it was? What even is your point, that if the camera had been in the living room instead... then what?
Hypothetically I want to secure my home with Cameras…
What’s the best way to do this? OSS preferably.
Link didn't work for me there was nowhere to actually buy the videos. Where is the correct link?
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
This is why you shouldn’t use cloud services for personal security, because the cloud is just someone else’s computer.
In general, cloud services have far better security than DIY systems. All of the hacked systems in this article are home based systems.
footages
You're going to be upset when you fail the 4thbgrade.
No no foot fetish footage, "footages". They're calling out foot fetish enjoyers.
This is what you show people when they say they don’t care about privacy because they have nothing to hide.
Thank you for this comment.
