Schools CCTV cameras are viewable by the general public! - So it seems.

A serious security flaw has been found in LookC CCTV servers all over the UK, including secondary schools. The flaw allows any user to view live images from the CCTV cameras.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 12, 2008 -
A user of the freepchelp.co.uk community has found a serious flaw in the LookC CCTV servers - some of which are installed in primary and secondary schools across the UK.

The vulnerability allows any unauthorized user to view live static images from inside buildings ranging from Schools, Office, Factories, and many more. The vulnerability has been tested 20+ LookC servers across the UK and all of them seem to have this flaw.

Apparently LookC’s attitude was disgraceful towards the Founder of the flaw, who informed LookC of the issue on Tuesday this week before publishing his findings on Friday. After days of LookC knowing, the simple issue has still not been fixed at the time of writing.

An article has been published on freepchelp.co.uk explaining the full story and the vulnerability, which is viewable by going to:
