@TheDailyEdge That's wild! The article even links to an automated Mastodon account, @shodansafari, that posts random images from around the world from unsecured web cams.

I flicked few some to see if I can find wildlife cameras. Nothing notable, although I did find a sketchy VPN ad being broadcast from one, which is audacious. Ads are becoming as ubiquitous as microplastics.
