"Security Researchers Find Several Bugs in Nest Security Cameras"

Researchers at Cisco Talos have discovered eight vulnerabilities in Nest Cam IQ, a smart security camera developed by Google. According to researchers, these vulnerabilities derive from the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocol, Weave. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow hackers to perform malicious activities such as hijacking cameras, spying on users, preventing the use of cameras, infiltrating home networks, and more. This article continues to discuss the features of Nest security cameras, the vulnerabilities discovered in these cameras, what the abuse of these vulnerabilities could allow hackers to do, and the lack of consideration for security in the development of IoT devices.
