Weirdest thing today... one of my HikVision camera was showing wrong username/password in BI. I can still get to the interface but my password doesn't work. All 12 of my cameras have the identical password.

Port number remains unchanged so this tell me the camera wasn't factory reset but my pw no longer works.

Note that if you have "UPnP" enabled in your router, then your camera might have opened its own port. Either way, if it was accessible online then it probably got hacked by someone. In that case you would be lucky if all they did was change the password.
