Unsecured IP Camera List

I'll go out on a limb here: UserName = "Admin"; Password = "Password"

"Hacked" -- SNORT!

People leave their SSID (wifi network name) at the factory default and then set some stupid password like "guest" or "network". Hackers have "rainbow tables" that allow them to rapidly try all possibilities with common SSIDs and common passwords.

*Change your SSID to something unique. (No, "FBI Surveillance Van," while cute, is hardly unique.) Then make your network password something hard to guess. It's not rocket science.*
