        You know all those IP cameras that no one ever encrypts, and you can easily find with a Google search, akso sometimes you can even control them. Well, that’s what your doorbell is.

        Given the fact that some people put cameras up in their bedrooms this is a major problem and almost certainly has led to blackmail, but we won’t find out about that obviously because you don’t admit that you’ve been blackmailed otherwise it defeats the purpose of paying them off.
