The homeowner could have also had UPNP enabled in their firewall allowing the hackers to gain direct access
So you're saying that potentially their router had UPnP enabled and from there opened the port to the camera\security system?
(sorry for the noob-ish question, Never heard of that until google told me what it was.)
Yep tons of shitty consumer stuff does that
but for why?
Because they are there to sell shitty consumer cameras "accessible from anywhere in the world".
Via an RTSP feed directly from the device. . .
which also means that anyone with half a brain incyber security can get into your cameras just as well. ...
Don't even need that much. The feed is literally just sitting out on the open internet waiting for anyone to go to a self hosted webpage to view.
Exactly. Its' like a billboard, but on a back road. Public, but not in your face.
What would the use of UPnP be then?
Where would that come into play?shitty consumer gear where the goal is to sell "easy to use equipment".
It was, even that is gone. Using UPnP for that stuff required you to know your IP address all of the time, which is too hard still. So everyone has moved to hosted services to centralize access and make it easier still.

So basically it's a protocol ( I use Loosely) for selling equipment? Sounds absurd.
Yes, that is what it is. No, it is not absurd itself. What is absurd is that consumers bought things because of it. It's logical that companies sold people what they wanted. that they wanted something so dumb is the absurd part.

You mentioned it being huge in the early 2000s before people had networked devices, so that would make more sense, Since I was only 4 in 2000 I wouldnt know that it had a "use" back then before things started advancing. I've only seen things from here.

Edit
that's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.They created a website to look for these items?
Shodan is a search engine. It does things a little differently, it starts with open ports on public facing ip addresses. Normally scans the whole of IPv4 every 2 days I think.

Crackers, not hackers bro.
Or whatever 1980s, early 90s jargon file stuff people tried to recapture from the media. I am a total green hat, I will be as black or white hat as you pay me to be and I've been paid well to do really mundane shit over the years and sometimes fun stuff.
