“Russian intelligence services are actively compromising internet-connected security cameras across Europe to gather military intelligence, according to a new advisory from the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD). (Bitdefender, Russian hackers are hijacking internet-connected cameras to spy on NATO and Ukraine)
Russian intelligence uses internet cameras for spying on NATO and Ukraine. How effective is this kind of spying? The answer is that it depends on what those cameras see and the purpose of those operations. Those cameras can be used to locate people and their vehicles. Or the door camera. It can help agents create timetables for targeted people. Door cameras can also be used to warn agents who operate in some houses. The agent who puts surveillance equipment in a place. Benefits from those systems. Those systems. They can tell those operators when the apartment’s owner comes home.
U.S. and Israel used hacked traffic control cameras to locate Iranian leaders for air attack.
The door codes can tell if someone walks into the house. The personal door codes. They can help to map the person’s route in the house. And if spies are making a burglary in some apartment. The use of personal entry codes. It can warn those spies. Or it can act as a stand-by order for real bad boys. Hit agents need information about routes. That people use in those houses. They can use that information for kidnapping. Agents can use medical components to get information.
That they want. That information. It can be access codes to critical systems. Or access to a critical environment.
In the same way. An anti-VIP team. Can use those door cameras. And traffic control cameras to target people for elimination. And here we must realize that the AI-boosted systems. They can easily collect data about people and their routes. The system uses images from hacked cameras. And the image recognition tools can see where targeted persons are.
This kind of information. It can be useful for those attackers. But sometimes surveillance cameras can collect information from other vital objects. The security camera that sees the screen can deliver that information as effectively as some malware that infects the computer. The security systems of the house. They can also involve critical information about people’s IDs. This information allows espionage operators to gain access into the building.
The AI-based image processing tools. They can uncover even state secrets. If. Hackers can intrude on an airfield's security cameras. Those people can collect information from the aircraft and other important material. In harbours, the situation is similar. Hacked surveillance cameras. They can collect data from ships and other important things. Things that the surveillance camera sees. They determine the effect of that type of spying.
