Do not use default password, please

While waiting for someone at a local fast food restaurant here I decided to use the free WiFi. My habit when I'm at a public WiFi is to see how many people are sharing the line, and then to tunnel my connection if necessary.

The person I've been waiting still not turning up, and I got interested in the one with the IP not in the DHCP range.

It's actually a webcam and is not running on the default HTTP port. I Googled for the default password of this webcam, and managed to log in.

Thank God that I don't have Java plugin, or else I would be able to see what the girl beside me is doing with her laptop.
