Security Warning: Cloud-based Security Camera Streaming Could Share Your Live Video Stream

Sophos, an IT security vendor that WLAnmall often specifies in our network builds, recently posted a great blog on home security cameras and the issues around cloud-based streaming of your video feed. Specifically, the Swan home security camera, had a vulnerability through duplicated serial numbers on the cameras in the manufacturing process.

At WLANmall, we are increasingly seeing problem with the security of IP video streams. These streams are on the network and through poor security measures, just about anybody can get to those video streams if both the network and the camera are not adequately secured. Look for a series of blogs on this issue in the upcoming months. But for now, please read this eye-opening blog from Sophos.
