Swann's home security camera recordings could be hijacked
( FLIR also.. )
"..
The intercepted messages included a reference to a unique serial number given to each camera in the factory.
By altering the serial number, the researchers were able to obtain video feeds from other cameras - something they tested by typing in numbers belonging to other cameras that they had bought.
At no point were they required to type in the other accounts' usernames and passwords."
..
"..the researchers discovered that a US-based security consultancy had previously flagged a similar issue with another brand supported by OzVision - Flir FX.
Despite Flir having been told of this a year ago, Mr Munro's team found it was still able to hijack feeds in a similar manner to the way it had done with Swann's kit."
