If a friend have this camera, shuld he be worried?
- sciencejerk 11mo agoYep
- buddhistdude 11mo agonot necessarily worried, but like put on some pants before entering the room
- tamimio 11mo agoPer the article, the attacker can restart the camera and potentially find the accurate position of it. However, if the attacker can be physically in proximity within the camera range, they can MITM it and intercept the video feed. So it depends on your friend's threat model. If the camera is recording something in a public location and they don't mind the location being exposed and potentially the video feed (like plenty of live public cameras), then it shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, they need to disable it until it gets fixed.
- reddalo 11mo ago> they can MITM it Can they? I thought they could only do it if they're in the same LAN.
- defraudbah 11mo agothe exploit is to make camera disconnect and connect to your wifi, that's how they MITM, pretty long process unless you do it often
- buddhistdude 11mo agocould be automated though?
- defraudbah 11mo agoyes, everything can be automated, and as you people don't always have time to automate everything, so it depends if your area has many c200 which is a home camera, not outdoor
- userbinator 11mo agoIf it's isolated from the Internet, no.
- g5pw 11mo agoAs @tehlike said in a sibling comment, it looks like it is supported by https://thingino.com https://thingino.com, so you can 'update' the firmware to a more secure (and FOSS) one!
