Organisations with cameras on these routes have been warned and advised to take action.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The investigation found that many compromised devices lacked basic security protections, often relying on default passwords, outdated firmware and standard factory configurations. <!-- -->Hackers used readily available apps to scan for accessible cameras and infiltrate them.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Camera hacking and modern warfare<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The Dutch revelation fits a broader pattern of camera hacking in modern warfare. Ukrainian hackers have hijacked Russian surveillance cameras to monitor troop movements and direct long-range strikes, including during the first known use of an undersea drone against a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Israeli spies and the CIA also infiltrated a network of security and traffic cameras across Tehran to locate former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei before launching the strikes that killed him on the first day of the Iran war, according to previous reports.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The practice is now considered easier and cheaper than using drones or satellites. Ground-based cameras provide a unique ground-level view of terrain that aerial intelligence cannot match.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Dutch authorities warn organisations<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The AIVD and MIVD released a cybersecurity advisory urging organisations with internet-connected cameras to update software, change default passwords and review device configurations to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The alert comes after Dutch authorities dismantled infrastructure linked to pro-Russian cyber operations by seizing 800 servers from two hosting providers allegedly used to support attacks across Europe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/europe\/russia-hacked-cameras-near-nato-bases-to-monitor-ukraine-arms-report\/articleshow\/132345306.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian intelligence has been spying on Nato military bases through civilian internet-connected cameras, using hacked devices to monitor the transfer of military equipment to Ukraine, Dutch intelligence services said in a joint investigation.The AIVD domestic security and MIVD military intelligence agencies said they uncovered a &#8220;large-scale Russian operation&#8221;
