The question isn’t “how would someone know…?” the question is “do you know what a hacker does?”.
Comment on Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International
GigglyBobble@kbin.social 9 months agoPeople 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.

Take it up with your congressman.
Seriously. It sounds like you have an informed and well-reasoned opinion. They’re not 100% corrupt. And they usually only hear about tech from industry lobbyists.
Let them hear from an intelligent constituent for a change.

Good luck holding a company sitting in China “responsible” for about anything.
