Security Cameras from Brickcom Have Serious Flaws: Check Your Devices

Security cameras made by Brickcom have serious security flaws that could let hackers access your camera feeds without permission. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to watch live video from your cameras, see what is happening on your property, and even take complete control of the camera system.

The government's cybersecurity agency has issued a warning about these problems. This affects specific Brickcom camera models including Cube version 3.2.3.5.6, Dome version 3.2.3.5.6, and Bullet version 3.2.

3. If you have security cameras at your home or business, check the brand and model number. You can usually find this information on the camera itself, in the camera's app, or in the documentation that came with the camera. If you have any of these Brickcom models, your privacy is at risk right now. Here is what you should do immediately. First, disconnect these cameras from the internet until a fix is available. You can do this by unplugging them or blocking their internet access in your router settings. Second, contact the place where you bought the cameras or visit the Brickcom website to find out if a security update is available. Third, if no fix is available soon, consider replacing these cameras with a different brand that has better security. When choosing any security camera for your home, always research the brand's security track record first. Keep your camera software updated whenever the manufacturer releases new versions. Change the default password that came with your camera to a strong, unique password. Consider putting your security cameras on a separate home network from your main devices to limit damage if they are compromised.
