Kodak Wireless Picture Frames Open To Public

Posted by kdawson on from the look-ma-a-picture-of-a-goat dept.

Jaxoreth writes "The Kodak Easyshare Wireless Digital Picture Frame displays images via a per-frame RSS feed hosted by FrameChannel. Each frame's URL is identical except for a parameter matching its particular MAC address, enabling public browsing of users' feeds. And worse, if you reach the feed of a not-yet-activated frame, it gives you the code to activate it, allowing you to preload it with whatever content you choose."

    If you see anything good, or even just really strange, be sure and post it here!

    Nice try TMZ.

    This innocent person has posted pictures of children and some recognisable locations. All it takes is for some pedo pervert to fantasise over the pictures and track them down.

    And of course, we live in a world where every 13 year old is going to look at this and go, "Sweet! When the next guy buys one of these things, he's going to see pictures of dicks!"

  7. Switch activation codes, get someone elses pics? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Could be funny to swap the default activation pics (with the activation codes) so you upload your photos to someone elses photo frame and you get some randoms...

    So, a script that changes the content for a video of Obama looking around the room for a few seconds at a random time every few days and then restores the original content. That would probably send some paranoid folks nucular.

    I like the sound of calling every security problem a "cloud feature". Suddenly it does not sound bad at all anymore!

    Screaming. Finger pointing, witch-hunts and frantic resume polishing. The usual.

    If I took some pictures from each person and shuffled them around to other people, would I be crossing the photostreams?
