Live Feed of Daughters' Bedroom Online

I am curious, how many of you have security systems setup like this person did?
A mother in Houston, Texas was horrified to learn hackers had compromised her home's security camera system and put up a live feed of her two daughters' bedroom online.
...
Upon learning of the hack, Jennifer hired a security consulting company to figure out what happened. It turns out one of her daughters accidentally opened the door to a group of hackers when she decided to play Minecraft on an unprotected server. It was child's play for the attackers to identify the IP address of the daughter's iPad. From there, they made their way to the modem and DVR system, which is connected to the home's security cameras.

I have a similar setup but it only monitors entryways so I'm not *too* concerned about it. It is a bit more complex than their setup but it is on the network and could potentially be compromised.
