Police said that the goal of at least two of the suspects was to take the footage from intimate locations, such as gynecology offices, and create sexually exploitative videos to sell online.
Um, why is there an IP camera, let alone and unsecured IP camera in a gynecology office?
Ma'am, they're telling to move over slightly to the left and to try this doggie style... Hmmmkay?
(Dis)Prove any claims of misconduct/malpractice? Positioned in such a was as to see the general room, but not looking 'right up the barrel' so-to-speak.
Should be CCTV to a local only DVR, not an IP cam though.
This reminds me;
5-6 years ago, I was scrolling through reddit and stumbled across a link to a website that was just a generic white page with hundreds of hyperlinks on it. No other formatting or images, just row after row of links on a plain white background.
Each one was a direct link to an IP security camera somewhere in the world. Presumably these either used default logins, had no login, or the credentials were stolen somehow. There were private residences, public buildings, the interior and exterior of stores, what looked like public security cameras (like pole mounted traffic cams), some spa resort type places, even a few elevator cams. Some of them even had working PTZ controls (tho I only came across 2-3 of those in the few dozen I played with).
I wasn't entirely sure they were even real; until I spotted a phone number in one of them and gave it a call. Took a bit of convincing, but the lady that answered finally believed me when I told her how many fingers she was holding up.
I wish I'd have saved it, just to see if anyone did anything about it. I really should have fired off an email to the domain registrar or something; but... naivety 🤷
It's worse now. There are a lot of apartment building facilities management systems on the public internet now with poor security.
Want to make yourself a fob to get into the building, or into someone's apartment? Want to get a listing of when those people enter and exit the building and when they're generally not home? Well, now you can. It's not a real high percentage of buildings that have their management systems exposed that way, but in raw numbers, there are a whole fucking bunch of them.
