"Security Researchers Sound Alarm on Smart Doorbells"

Researchers from the security company NCC Group and the UK consumer organization Which? analyzed 11 video doorbells sold on Amazon and eBay and discovered high-risk vulnerabilities in all of the devices. One of the vulnerabilities shared among them was the practice of sending data, including Wi-Fi names, passwords, photos, email, video, and location information back to the manufacturer. Another security can allow an attacker to steal the network password, thus enabling them to hack into the doorbell, router, and other devices connected to the user's network. This article continues to discuss the vulnerabilities found in the 11 smart doorbells, what the exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to do, and the growing threat posed by insecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices to Internet security.
