A snapshot of the security issues with the video doorbells are below: Exposure of a user’s home IP addresses and WiFi network names to the internet without encryption, potentially opening a user’s home network to malicious activity. Ability of potential bad actors to take over the device by downloading the Aiwit smartphone app and entering the doorbell into pairing mode, which allows a malicious actor to take ownership of the device, view footage, and lock out the owner of the device. Remote access to still images from the video feed and other information without authentication, by acquiring the serial number of the doorbell. Lack of a registration code that must be visible on this class of product, under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.

So who is responsible for this? In my opinion it would be a shared responsibility if the consumer neglects to secure their device and manufacturers for the vulnerability flaws!!!! What about the market places that sells them? What about the attackers? What a mess!!!!!! The security flaws could allow threat actors to view footage from the devices or control them completely. An attacker can exploit the flaws to create an account on the app and gain access to a nearby doorbell camera by pairing it with another device. Then threat actors can view footage and lock out the owner of the device. https://lnkd.in/ettMxMez
