Warning! CCTV Cameras Sold on Amazon Come with Pre-Installed Malware
The Hacker News
Be careful while buying any off-brand electronics from Amazon, as they could end up infecting you.
Recently, independent security researcher Mike Olsen discovered that the CCTV surveillance devices sold on Amazon came with pre-installed malware.
Olsen discovered this nasty secret after he bought a set of outdoor CCTV surveillance cameras from Amazon for one of his friends.
He picked Sony Chip HD 6 Camera 1080P PoE IP CCTV surveillance
camera kit sold by the Urban Security Group (USG) on Amazon, as it had
good reviews and was a relatively cheap set of 6 cameras with all
necessary equipment included.
While helping his friend set up the cameras, Olsen logged into the
administrator panel to configure the surveillance system and found that
the page hosted "no normal controls or settings."
