Comment on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves.

BanMe@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

I was living in a 10th story penthouse apartment as a new building started beside us. The contractor put a webcam high up on the structure so people could watch construction live on a website. They left the control panel fully exposed so all you had to do was find the IP address of the camera and boom, you had full control. I would point it directly at my apartment’s window and wave, or my friends would do silly shit. Every morning the cam would be reset, but they never actually secured it. That’s when I realized how fucked we were, 20 years ago.
