Hacking IOT devices using a surveillance camera is possible, but it requires sufficient technical knowledge and experience in computer security.
One way to hack IOT devices is to use a surveillance camera to gain access to the local network to which the device is connected. To do this, an attacker can exploit vulnerabilities in communication protocols, security flaws in the device's firmware, or simply guess the login and password if they were left at default.
After gaining access to the local network, the attacker can intercept traffic, install malware on other devices in the network, carry out DDoS attacks, or even gain access to confidential data.
To protect against such attacks, it is necessary to follow basic security principles such as changing default passwords, using strong passwords, updating device firmware, and installing additional security measures such as firewalls and VPN connections. It is also important to restrict access to surveillance cameras, install them in secure locations, and use cameras with reliable encryption mechanisms and data protection.
What can you do to protect your IOT devices, including surveillance cameras?
Here are a few tips:
Change the default passwords. When installing a new device, make sure you change the default password to a more complex one.
Use passwords that contain letters, numbers, and special characters.
Update the software.
Regularly check for updates to the device and install them to fix vulnerabilities.
Use network security settings.
Some devices have network security settings that can be used to set restrictions on access to the device.
Use a virtual private network (VPN).
