Unprotected security cameras become highly vulnerable. Insecam is a website that scouts search engines for camera āadminā pages without password or using default ones. They may be in businesses, homes or anywhere else. Tagged screenshots from the 25 most recent online cameras per country (at the time of capture) list the most common topics captured, hinting which kind of places, spaces and people their vulnerability might affect.
Main Findings
In Brazil and in the USA external leaked cameras prevail. These kind of privately owned unsecured cameras are pointing outside their property, as the images show.
India has a majority of internal cameras and many in the Industrial and Commercial categories. Among these, some are tagged with āIdentifiable Humanā, meaning workers captured can even be facially identified.
Only 3 unsecured cameras were categorized as City monitoring ones, an interesting fact considering that these focus on places that are 100% public.
Italy presents an absolute majority of residential cameras, a fact that is also reflected on the main tags for the country such as āProperty Wallā, āPlantā or āGateā.
About a third of the cameras in Italy were on commercial places, with customers and employees being openly broadcasted to people with access to the leaked camera.
