Because most of these devices host a server to configure them, it means that many things that aren’t supposed to be on Google end up there. Unfortunately, Google is ruthlessly effective at hunting down any devices on the internet running HTTP and HTTPS servers. That server may require no password to access the feed from your webcam, making your camera accessible to anyone who searches for text contained in the viewing page of the camera. The camera calls a Chinese server and streams video in real-time, allowing you to log in by accessing the video feed hosted on the server in China from your phone. What’s going on in the background isn’t so simple. After that, you can access your camera from anywhere! You set it up, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and download an app that asks for you to sign in.
So how could this happen to you? Imagine getting a new security camera that provides the ability to watch it on your phone whenever you want.
