Imagine that companies sold webcams.

Imagine that these webcams were designed for remote access, i.e. for security purpouses.

Imagine that they were designed to be accessed via the web.

Imagine that most users were far too lazy/incompetent to turn on the security features that stopped just anyone looking at them.

Imagine that they used URLs that you could google for easily.

Check them out here and here.

Possibly the biggest breach of Data Protection Legislation ever :->

I can't remember the actual quote, but this seems somewhat related.

It's in The Invisibles, where King Mob is breaking into a military base. And the security guard would be playing Doom :->
