Domestic foscam camera exposes huge information security risks

Sihai science and technology channel, November 21 - as the use of the camera with the default password set by the manufacturer will cause the landing information to be obtained at will, tens of thousands of private cameras around the world, mainly Chinese foscam cameras, have been exposed recently, which poses a huge security and privacy risk. Along with foscam, brands such as Linksys and Panasonic have also been exposed.

Since the camera security issue has not been attacked by hackers, this incident has also been identified as a public security announcement of privacy protection organization, which is intended to remind users to change the default password, because these cameras are enough to disclose all the information including the user's GPS, zip code, time zone and accurate map location.
