On the afternoon of March 5th 2009 a
message was sent to Purdue's security team list instructing the system
administrators from every department to bring down the webcams in their
networks for 24 hours. No explanation was given, but believing that a security
incident may have been in progress I disabled this site as well. If someone
was using the site for nefarious purposes I wanted to help put a stop to
it.
I sent several emails asking for clarification and offering to help, with no
response. After 24 hours a few, but not nearly all, of the cameras were
restored. Forty eight hours later, with no explanation forthcoming, I have
decided to restore the page.
I do not know if/when any of the missing cameras will return.

windows people confirm this?
Broken Webcams
The page brokencams.py
contains links to cameras around purdue which are not functioning
for one reason or another. If you know who the proper
administrator of one of these cameras is please notify them so
they can restore it to working order. Please notify me also so
that I can restore them to their rightful place on this page.
