One of the newer features that camera manufacturers have
started to introduce to many of their cameras is built-in WiFi. What this means
is that it allows photographers to transfer photos from the camera to another
device, like a tablet, smartphone or computer, wirelessly, eliminating the need
for additional cables. While itsounds like a convenient
feature, it has been discovered at the hacker confere, Shmoocon 2013, that this
WiFi feature might not be as safe as you think.
This flaw was discovered by German security
researchers Daniel Mende and Pascal Tubing, who found that cameras with
internet connectivity can actually be exploited and ultimately turned into spy
cams! The researchers used the Canon EOS 1D X camera as an example and managed
to take complete control over the camera. It has also been pointed out that
unlike computers which keep logs, cameras do not meaning that you will not be
able to tell when someone has accessed your camera illegally. The researchers
have also discovered that it’s not just cameras with internet connectivity that
are affected, but memory cards with WiFi connectivity as well.
If you have an hour to spare, you can watch the
presentation in the video below where the researchers talk about their
findings, as well as talk about ways to protect yourself and your device: Click Here
So lovely.Wish you happiness.
