The search term "inurl:viewerframe?mode=motion hotel verified"
What can an attacker or curious observer see with such a link?
You could watch business travelers checking in at a desk in Tokyo, cleaning staff changing sheets in real-time, or security monitors in a lobby in New York. The cameras were unsecured. They had been shipped with default passwords, or no passwords at all, and were plugged directly into the internet without a firewall.
They are often outdated: IP addresses change frequently. A "verified" link from last week is likely a dead link today.
When executed correctly (correcting the typo to inurl:viewerframe?mode=motion), this query does not find curated lifestyle or entertainment content. Instead, it finds unsecured IP cameras.
The existence of this search string highlights a major shift in cybersecurity culture over the last two decades.
