Internet of Things security is so bad, there’s a search engine for sleeping kids

J.M. Porup, writing for Ars Technica:

Shodan, a search engine for the Internet of Things (IoT), recently launched a new section that lets users easily browse vulnerable webcams.

The feed includes images of marijuana plantations, back rooms of banks, children, kitchens, living rooms, garages, front gardens, back gardens, ski slopes, swimming pools, colleges and schools, laboratories, and cash register cameras in retail stores.

This is the wild, wild west. Enter the Internet of Things at your peril.
