“When people don't see stuff on Google, they think no one can find it. That's not true.”
That's according to John Matherly, creator of Shodan, the scariest search engine on the Internet.
Shodan runs 24/7 and collects information on about 500 million connected devices and services each month.
It's stunning what can be found with a simple search on Shodan. Countless traffic lights, security cameras, home automation devices and heating systems are connected to the Internet and easy to spot.
