YouTube Video on Webcam Hacking

The video is a segment from Fox News, where they show a simple search that can be done to uncover webcams. They find a cam that some guy in Japan installed to spy on his neighbor, and they were able to control it, turning it around to look inside the guy’s apartment. They found another that they were able to point at someone’s bed.

They used a simple search in Google - they had no idea of how many cams you could find with a purpose-built search engine like Web-Cam-Search.com.

In my searches, I get between 899,000 and 957,000 cams when I use the default search with an empty search field, but when you add all the other tools and algorithms on the page, you find over a million cams easily.

Even the University search finds over 1000 cams on college campuses, dorms, etc.
