Just received an email from Foscam saying that there is a security risk with there webcams. Here's an article on it.

Wow  :o


QuoteThe flaws are staggeringly bad. They include hard-coded remote-access passwords that cannot be changed by the user; a hard-coded file-transfer password that is blank, i.e., no password; hidden Telnet access; no limit on incorrect login attempts; configuration files that can be changed remotely; remote factory reset; and a firewall that doesn't completely work.

I have a couple of Dlink cams. Anyone hear anything bad about them? I did update the passwords.
