Users of Trendnet home surveillance cameras have been warned about a serious security hole that makes it possible for Internet users to view their private video feeds in real time.
The alert was first discovered a month ago by the owner of the TV-IP110w wireless IP security camera, who noticed while exploring the camera’s firmware that it was possible to access its video feed by entering its IP address with a pointer to a normally hidden sub-directory. This turned out to be true even when the camera was set up with password access enabled. Disturbingly, the researcher was able to use the same routine to turn up almost 10,000 possible Internet-connected cameras running the same firmware by querying the port-scanning search engine, Shodan. Using Shodan with an automated Python script to search for vulnerable feeds turned up 350 cameras.

When it's also a webcam. Network hardware maker TrendNet has come up with a novel take on web surveillance with its TV-M7 digital photo display. While we can see this being used in a benign way to keep an eye on baby while you prepare his tea, for instance, the idea of a hidden camera disguised in this way will not sit well with some consumers.
