"New Research Reveals Privacy Risks Of Home Security Cameras"

Researchers from the Queen Mary University of London and the Chinese Academy of Science did a study that reveals the risks posed to privacy by home security cameras. The study was performed using data from a major home International Protocol (IP) security camera provider. The study's findings showed that attackers could monitor and analyze the traffic generated by IP home security cameras to predict when a house is occupied or not. Past traffic generated by these cameras could also be used by attackers to predict future activity, leaving camera owners' homes more vulnerable to burglary. This article continues to discuss key findings from the study on the inference of privacy-compromising information about an IP home security camera's owner without inspecting video content itself.
