Four British schools were found among hundreds of public spaces, businesses, and private homes whose security was breached because their cameras weren’t protected by passwords.
Among the schools on the US-registered site was St Mary’s Catholic Academy in Blackpool, attended by 1,188 pupils.
Eight CCTV cameras in the playground, entrances and inside the school corridors could be accessed.
