A few days ago, some media broke out that many home surveillance cameras were cracked, and everyone's every move in the home was seen by others. Is home surveillance really so unsafe? A visit investigation was conducted. How should citizens check and prevent home cameras from being invaded by others? Network security experts also give suggestions.

Market: Many brands, different prices

In recent years, the number of households using home surveillance cameras has risen, mainly used for parents to stay informed about their children ’s situation at home when they are away from work. Regarding the choice of monitoring, most families have chosen domestic brands with higher cost performance. Citizen Ms. Jiang installed a home-made home monitor the year before. She said: "When there were not many domestic brands in the past, some friends bought foreign brands. The price is very high. Now the domestic products are doing very well, and the connection The phone is very convenient and can be viewed at any time. "

Came to a mall, there are five stores in the mall are selling surveillance cameras. One of the shop assistants said that home surveillance cameras have sold well in recent times. When asked about the safety of home monitoring, the clerk took out his mobile phone and showed how to encrypt the monitoring screen in the App. The clerk said that the security issue is mainly on his own, and regular products have the function of security encryption. In another store that monitors security, the clerk said that when encountering such "monitored" security problems, the merchants cannot provide technical support.

On the online sales platform, enter the keyword "home monitoring", you can find hundreds of hot-selling baby. These home surveillance cameras have many brands, and the price is close to the people, mostly within 100 yuan to 300 yuan. The cumulative sales of one of the wireless cameras reached 36,168.

Security: Set high-strength password and update it in time

According to CCTV News reports, cracking the passwords of surveillance cameras, intruding into related systems, and profiting by selling user IP addresses have become an illegal industrial chain. From the TV screen provided by CCTV, it is not difficult to find that entering the IP address and related information provided by the seller into the playback software can actually enter a surveillance camera.

On June 26, the National Internet Emergency Response Center issued an announcement. In the announcement, the National Information Security Vulnerability Sharing Platform stated that by comprehensively exploiting the above vulnerabilities, remote attackers could use the vulnerabilities to elevate permissions or encrypt other users ’identities to obtain sensitive information and control the network Equipment for personal purposes. These deficiencies and loopholes in R & D technology have opened a convenient door for criminals to steal the monitoring screens of others.

Ms. Jiang is also concerned about the security situation of home monitoring. She said: "After seeing the news, I searched the relevant information on the Internet to check whether there is a problem with my home's monitoring." Citizens who share the same ideas as Ms. Jiang Many, so how can we effectively prevent surveillance from being invaded? Mr. Fan, who is engaged in the network security industry, suggests that we must first purchase regular and reliable brands of household surveillance products. When in use, try to set a high-strength user password, and update the operating system and related App software in a timely manner. If there is any abnormality, you should immediately report to the manufacturer and wait for repair.

Lawyer: Moyin's curiosity broke the law

Has this kind of behavior of "watching" the lives of others touched the law? A lawyer named Gong was contacted. "First of all, we must look at the content of the screen. If it involves personal privacy, it constitutes an infringement. Second, cracking the IP address and invading the monitoring of others is also suspected of the crime of illegally obtaining computer passwords." Lawyer Gong said, who was sold to and what The purpose is also worth scrutinizing. If the monitoring screen is sold to the stolen person and requires a certain fee, this involves blackmail and extortion. If a certain number of sexual behavior pictures are intercepted and displayed, produced and disseminated in the family camera, it constitutes the crime of spreading obscene materials; if the communicator makes a profit and reaches a certain amount, it will also constitute a crime of spreading obscene materials.

Since June 1, the "Network Security Law of the People's Republic of China" has come into effect, and one of the highlights is to prevent the illegal acquisition, disclosure or illegal use of citizens' personal information data. In the existing 79 regulations, the provision of personal information of citizens with illegal income of more than 5,000 yuan can be criminalized. The punishment amount for reselling personal information will be clarified, which will have a good deterrent effect on the leakage of personal information in the current society.
