Tens of thousands of webcams – positioned in private homes, businesses and elsewhere – are posting private images online, according to a number of reports from technology-based websites such as TechCrunch.

“Last week, I sat at my computer and watched a young man from Hong Kong relaxing on his laptop; an Israeli woman tidying the changing room in a clothes store; and an elderly woman in the UK watching TV,” said a commentator at the Motherboard blog recently,

“All of these people were completely unaware that I was spying on them, thousands of miles away, through devices that were inadvertently broadcasting their private lives on the Internet.”

The images are on a website called Insecam, which uses computer software to troll the Internet for signals from security cameras and the like that are using the pre-programmed security codes that are installed by the manufacturers.

And left unchanged by the consumers.

That are simple like “admin” or “12345″ and easily can be broken.

Techcrunch reports that it investigated the feeds, and found many dead, likely because the owner discovered the online appearance and changed the pass-code.

“You can see some live cameras if you move away from the front page and start viewing cameras further afield …” said Techcrunch.
