Researchers have detailed a string of vulnerabilities that, when exploited in combination, would allow for hundreds of models of internet-linked surveillance cameras to be remotely hijacked. Security biz VDOO said today it privately alerted cam-maker Axis Communications to the seven bugs it found in its gizmos, leading to the manufacturer issuing firmware updates for roughly 400 models of connected surveillance cameras that would be vulnerable to attack. Owners of at-risk gear are urged advised to update their camera firmware as soon as possible.
