Epic Web Cam Security Failure
Ok, so a while back we had a small crime rash in our rural neck of the woods. We responded by purchasing a webcam from a large, well trusted company and within a day realized it didn't have the night vision we needed to protect our property. So we returned it.
So recently we started to get email alerts for motion detected on this camera that we no longer owned! Apparently the company resold it and didn't delete our email that was attached to it when we created the online account which we can no longer access. So we have gotten a fair number of pictures of a mysterious wine cellar. Most benign....one questionable. It's incredibly well stocked but not frequently visited so I don't think it's a restaurant. However, it's incredibly big for a private collection. I can't help but wonder whose it is. I like to imagine it belongs to Steve Wozniak and that is his private chef and/or various staff. I feel quite sure it is.
The irony is that this camera was placed in an attempt to INCREASE security. Then it gets sent to me. Then I post it to the internets as a warning to all of you! (and because I'm a voyeur pig who is enjoying this all too much)
The decent thing to do would be to notify the company of this horrible lapse in security. I will. I will.
But first please, please, internet Gods....please let someone smoke a big fat doobie or have sex first. Angry, secret, screw the boss, wine cellar sex. Please.
I am never buying a stand alone webcam again. How do I know this wasn't resold to me and someone has pictures of me naked on my couch, picking my nose while I watch Tosh.0 ? It's disturbing....it's all just deeply disturbing.
Update: For those of you having a moral crisis over this situation....I emailed the maker of the camera. Perhaps they don't read their emails. Maybe they are too busy? Unless I figure out who this is I might be getting these pictures forever (I hope). :)
