Hacking Tactics: Exploiting Security Cameras
Why Are CCTV and Security Cameras Targeted?
Hackers target CCTV or security cameras due to the valuable assets or entry and exit points they monitor, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking unauthorized access for monitoring or control purposes. The vulnerabilities in CCTV systems, such as default passwords, outdated network configurations, and lack of multi-factor authentication provide opportunities for hackers to exploit these systems and gain remote or local access to surveillance networks (Facilities Management Advisor).
CCTV cameras being hacked can lead to severe consequences such as unauthorized access to sensitive areas, monitoring of activities, and potential control over the surveillance systems. This breach in security can compromise the safety of individuals, privacy violations, theft of valuable assets, and even potential sabotage of operations. Furthermore, it can also result in a loss of trust in the surveillance technology and have detrimental effects on the overall security measures of the organization (Facilities Management Advisor, BBC).
