(Dagbladet): Imagine being able to control your neighbor's webcam, open your competitor's data base or take control of vital control systems with a few keystrokes.
In a series of articles, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet reveals how easily this can be done.
Journalists Linn Kongsli Hillestad and Espen Sandli have tested everything from surveillance cameras to data bases and control systems publicly available online.
They found everything from youngsters snogging to «national security at risk».
Thus far, they have found:• 290 vulnerable control systems, in banks, schools, nursing homes - and a military camp• 2048 surveillance cameras in private homes, night clubs, shops and restaurants• 2500 control systems connected to the Internet with minimal or no security• 500 of these control industrial or critical infrastructure• Thousands of data bases and servers that give away content without passwords
These are all found in Norway. Guess if it is any better in your country?
- Probably not. But Norway is of a size possible to investigate as a whole - if you have the time to do it. So we did just that, says journalist Linn Hillestad.
