The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reports that it recently detained a Ukrainian citizen suspected of providing information to Russian intelligence. He was installing surveillance cameras near critical infrastructure to help Russia monitor these locations in real time, assess the effectiveness of air strikes, and locate Ukrainian air defense systems. The cameras had remote access capabilities that allowed Russia to easily access sensitive data. The suspect was eventually arrested in Kiev and faces life in prison and property confiscation.


Worryingly, a large number of cameras around the world have already been compromised and used for illegal surveillance. ZoomEye has collected data on global webcam assets to help users strengthen their camera security. These compromised cameras may already be monitoring your surroundings and collecting sensitive personal or business information.

With ZoomEye, users are able to discover cameras exposed to the Internet and ensure that necessary security measures, such as changing default passwords, using encryption, and turning off unnecessary remote access, are taken to counter compromised devices and prevent sensitive information from being leaked and exploited for malicious purposes.
