US website live-streams chilling footage of pupils in British schools after hackers break into CCTV system

Now it has emerged that the images can be viewed by anyone after the CCTV systems were hacked and put online. Pictured: Pupils at an unnamed school in South East England 

Surveillance feeds from four schools were among hundreds of British security systems broken into and streamed on a creepy US website

PERVS were able to watch thousands of British kids online after hackers broke into school CCTV systems and broadcast the footage on the internet.

Surveillance feeds from four schools were among hundreds of British security systems broken into and streamed on a creepy US website.

Dad Szczepan Warhol, 40, a parent at the breached St Mary’s Catholic Academy in Blackpool, said: “It’s completely shocking.

“I think they should have CCTV at the school to make it secure, but they need to improve this situation now.”

Another parent fumed: “It’s really bad. They’ve got cameras everywhere around the school and even in the toilets. How has this been allowed to happen?

Reporters from The Daily Star were able to watch video feeds from eight cameras in the school on the website, which The Sun Online is refusing to name.

A further seven feeds from Highfield Leadership Academy, also in Blackpool were streamed online.

One parent raged: “Oh, my god. It’s disgusting looking at children. How can they be allowed to run so many cameras if they can’t protect them?”

Britain's data watchdog yesterday launched an investigation into the breach.

A spokesman for the Information Commissioner said: “The ICO advises anybody who purchases an internet-connected device which has the capability to stream live video to immediately change passwords and usernames from default settings and to set a strong password.”

Last year parents hit out at a school that installed CCTV cameras in the TOILETS.

The measure was intended to combat bullying and vandalism.

But one mum blasted: "A friend of mine said her daughter came home in tears because she was too scared to use the loo all day and she nearly wet herself in class. It's so intrusive and creepy."
