The way the BBC framed it, they seemed to be suggesting that the Russians (must be government sanctioned of course) were "hacking" cameras and watching kiddies! Talk about a badly researched story with zero journalistic integrity and credibility!
The kit has not been "hacked", rather software and search tools have been used to scan the net for feeds that can be accessed using the cameras' default settings.
He said he would work with the Russian authorities and others to have the website shut down, adding that such a site would be illegal in the UK.
For now, the ICO said it was unable to halt the Russian website or others like it beyond the UK's borders.
"If a website in the UK did this we would take action against it because firstly it's a breach of the Data Protection Act because you are accessing people's information and you shouldn't be, and secondly there are also issues around the Computer Misuse Act as well," the spokesman added.

Funny how the mainstream media never made a connections between this Rissian website and the NSA. I wonder if the public will?
The Full BBC article...why has no one posted this yet, I wonder?
You fail to mention it was a West backed regime that took over Ukraine in the first place and illegally so going against the wishes of the populace.
Ukranian troops have been advised the whole time by NATO and the C.I.A. when trying to invade mainly ethnic Russian towns on the Russian border.

“Syria’s apparent use of chlorine gas as a weapon – not to mention targeting of civilians – is a plain violation of international law,” said Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
According to doctors who treated the victims and subsequently spoke to Human Rights Watch, these attacks killed at least 11 people and resulted in symptoms consistent with exposure to chlorine in nearly 500 other people.
"The findings of the latest OPCW report corroborate allegations that the Assad regime is continuing to use chemical weapons in Syria, in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention," said the Foreign Office statement.

Some UK govt spokes person said that by doing this Russia may be braking international law, type not specified. It was put this way to sound as though Russia is acting outside of some law. This is deliberate anti Russian bias and is a form of conspiracy.
