How 'home hackers' spy on you and your children... with YOUR webcam

How 'home hackers' spy on you and your children... with YOUR webcam: The shocking evidence that shows how private lives are snooped on and streamed live on web  

  • Investigation reveals 'home hackers' are spying on people through webcams 
  • Vulnerable devices include baby monitors and domestic security cameras 
  • 350,000 such cameras are bought every year in the UK by individuals 
  • Many fail to change the default passwords leaving them open to hackers 
  • Experts say thousands may not be aware hackers are able to spy on them  

By SIMON MURPHY and IAN GALLAGHER FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

Security camera footage from inside homes, offices and shops across Britain is being intercepted and broadcast live on the internet – without the owners’ knowledge.

A Mail on Sunday investigation can reveal that ‘home hackers’ are easily able to spy on people going about their daily lives through cameras that were installed in homes to improve security.

During a two-hour period last week we watched an internet website – available to anyone in the world – and saw footage from British locations of:

  • Babies in cots
  • A schoolboy playing on his computer at home in North London
  • Another boy asleep in bed
  • The inside of a Surrey vicar's church changing room
  • An elderly woman relaxing in an armchair
  • Two men in a kitchen sharing a meal
