There used to be a website with a map and you could see all these open unsecured cameras they'd found around the world. Mostly by searching Google for the page name they all had.

Some of them seemed intentional, like traffic cams, cameras on the roof looking out over the city, etc, but there were so many fat men sat around watching TV in their underpants, random families in the kitchen, and so on.

http://www.insecam.org/ is still alive!

Funny that the website shedding light on insecure cameras is, itself, insecurely serving the public over http.

Well. At least in Finland all cams are deliberately public.

Nobody watching TV drunk in their underpants. Thank god.
