Security Cameras Vulnerable: Check If You Own Brickcom Models

A serious security problem has been discovered in certain Brickcom brand security cameras.

Hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to watch your live camera feeds without permission, see sensitive visual information from your home or business, and even take complete control of the camera device. The vulnerability affects cameras from outside your network without needing any password. You are affected if you own any of these specific Brickcom camera models: Cube version 3.2.3.5.6, Dome version 3.2.3.5.6, or Bullet version 3.2.

3. These cameras may be installed in homes, small businesses, or offices. If you are unsure which version you have, check the camera settings menu or look at the original packaging or purchase receipt. Even if your camera is password protected, these vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass normal security measures. Here is what you need to do immediately:
4. Check your security camera model and version number by logging into the camera's settings or checking the product label.
5. If you have an affected Brickcom camera, disconnect it from the internet until a security update becomes available.
6. Contact Brickcom customer support or check their website for firmware updates that fix these security problems.
7. Consider temporarily using alternative security measures like motion sensor lights until the camera can be updated.
8. If no update becomes available soon, consider replacing these cameras with a different brand. For long term security, always keep your security cameras and smart home devices updated with the latest firmware. Change default passwords immediately after installing any camera. Place cameras on a separate network from your main home computers if your router supports guest networks. Regularly check manufacturer websites for security announcements about your devices.
