Excerpt from the Link "The public is being warned about a website containing thousands of live feeds to baby monitors, stand-alone webcams and CCTV systems.
Data watchdogs across the world have drawn attention to the Russian-based site, which broadcasts footage from systems using either default passwords or no log-in codes at all."
My thoughts ;
Heads up.
I've never been a fan of using any type of webcams wether standalone or the ones integrated into the laptop / tablet or phone.

I read something like this a while ago where laptops were being hacked and the webcams being turned on without the knowledge of the user. It is scary to think that a compelte stranger could be watching you.
