"20K Ubiquiti IoT Cameras & Routers Are Sitting Ducks for Hackers"

Check Point Research warns that over 20,000 Ubiquiti devices are exposed on the Internet, revealing informational data, including their platform names, configured IP addresses, and more, due to a five-year-old bug. In January 2019, broadband Internet expert Jim Troutman warned that an exposed port in dozens of Ubiquiti Internet of Things (IoT) devices was being used for Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerability received a "high" score of 7.5 on the CVSS scale. Months later, Rapid7 researchers still found about 500,000 vulnerable devices. Ubiquiti has long since acknowledged and patched the flaw, but Check Point Research recently reported that over 20,000 devices remain vulnerable. This article continues to discuss the exposure of over 20,000 Ubiquiti IoT cameras and routers to hackers.
