Surveillance camera security vulnerability quoted Vietnam to release technical regulat

(Hanoi News) There are more than 800,000 monitoring cameras across Vietnam to share image data on the Internet. Many of the devices are vulnerable to Internet hacking and control, and related security issues have attracted increasing attention.

VNEXPRESS reports that the basic information security of Vietnamese online monitoring camera released by the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam's information and communication requires the draft national technical regulations of the national technical regulations.The camera publicly shared image information on the Internet, about 45%of the cameras have security vulnerabilities.

Many public -shared image data will even be traded on social media platforms such as Facebook and Telegram, especially camera data installed in sensitive places such as bedrooms, locker rooms and spa shops.Some sellers allow buyers to obtain information about 15 cameras at the price of 800,000 Yuenan Shield (about S $ 42), while providing "hundreds of thousands of options".This shows that a large number of cameras have been controlled without authorization.

The draft quotes the data from the Vietnamese Customs Department that in the past five years, Vietnam has imported about 16 million monitoring cameras, of which 96.3%are Chinese brands, including Hikvision, Dahua and Xiaomi.

They may also create deep and pseudo -scams with serious consequences.
