IoT Bug Impacts Millions of Devices - Allows Hackers to Spy on You

Security researchers have discovered a critical vulnerability affecting millions of IoT devices which could allow attackers to spy on you by tapping into real-time camera feeds.

The security issue impacts products from various manufacturers that provide video and surveillance solutions, as well as home automation IoT systems, which are all connected via ThroughTek’s Kalay IoT cloud platform.

American cybersecurity firm Mandiant revealed the CVE-2021-28372 bug after reporting it to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Because the Kalay platform is used by devices from a large number of manufacturers, it is difficult to create a list with the affected brands. Mandiant were unable to determine how many devices are affected, but they warned that more than 83 million users are currently using Kalay. more

An adversary would be able to remotely compromise an IoT device by exploiting the flaw and could compromise device credentials, watch real-time video data, and listen to live audio. more

3 in 10 Home Sellers Use Spycams During House Tours

Spycams are reportedly being used by home sellers who want to ink a deal sooner rather than later.

According to a recent LendingTree survey, 3 in 10 home sellers admit to using hidden cameras when they host an open house.

The survey, which was commissioned from the experience management firm Qualtrics, notably had a small sample size of home sellers – 346 – compared to home buyers – 1,160 – for a total sample size of 2,050. 

Of those sellers who admit to using cameras without notifying buyers, 49% claim they do so to find out what buyers "do and don’t like about their home." more

Yet Another Spycam in a Smoke Detector Story

Rob Riggle’s divorce from his wife, Tiffany, after 21 years of marriage has taken a dramatic, new turn after the actor accused her of hacking his Apple account, taking $28,000 from his home office, and spying on him with a hidden camera... 

The actor says he began to grow suspicious that he was being watched after he noticed that his estranged wife somehow knew about private conversations he’d had in his home office either with or about his girlfriend and assistant...

In response the actor decided in April to have his home swept for devices that might be spying on him, claiming to have found a camera hidden in one of his smoke detectors. He says the camera had a memory card with more than 10,000 videos stored on it. He believes the camera was installed in August 2020 and had likely been watching him ever since. The actor claims that one of those videos shows Tiffany standing on a ladder installing the spy camera...

Riggle has been granted a temporary restraining order against his ex, and another hearing is set for July regarding his request to have all of the footage obtained from the hidden camera analyzed by a forensic expert. more

Hvaldimir: Seeking Sanctuary for Whale Dubbed a Russian Spy

A mysterious beluga whale was dubbed a spy when he appeared off Norway's coast wearing a Russian harness... The whale seemed to be seeking help... The fisherman put on a survival suit and jumped into the icy water, freed the whale and retrieved the harness.

Some Eavesdropping Okay in All Party Consent State (PA)

Recently, in Commonwealth v. Mason, J-44-2020 No. 69 MAP 2019 (March 25, 2021), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that audio interceptions, made in the bedroom of toddler-aged victims of a nanny’s physical and verbal abuse, when such interceptions were captured by a camera hidden in a bedroom of the house by the father (and house owner) of the toddler-aged victims, did not violate the rights of the defendant (the nanny) under the Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act (Wiretap Act), 18 Pa.C.S. Sections 5701-5782, and so were admissible. The Supreme Court drew a proper and logical conclusion from the facts and the law and, hopefully, brought us closer to a reasonable look at the issue... more

Another TSCM Fail - Spycam in Girl's Changing Room - No Follow-Up

Here we go again and again. For the third time in two months a spy camera is discovered and the ball is dropped. In the last case—after assuring everyone they searched and the room was now safe—a second spycam was found two weeks later, in the same room!

In this case, the police declared, "There is no current evidence to suggest that other restrooms or private areas in the multi-tenant facility were compromised." 

No mention of a competent Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) sweep to back up this lame claim.

TN - An investigation into a camera set up in a girls' changing facility has revealed 60 victims as of Thursday afternoon, police in Tennessee said. 

The GoPro camera — which was found hidden in a girls' changing and restroom at Premier Athletics which offers training in cheerleading, dance and gymnastics — was reviewed by police after it was found last week. Sixty females, mostly minors, were recorded on the camera, police said...

Working with facility management, detectives have identified 47 of the 60 victims and are in the process of notifying their parents. Detectives are working to identify the remaining 13 victims.The girls' changing and restroom at the center of this investigation is located inside the Premier Athletics suite. There is no current evidence to suggest that other restrooms or private areas in the multi-tenant facility were compromised, police said. more

A good investigator will tell you... "If you find one bug or spycam there is a possibility there are others. Keep searching."

A good attorney might tell Premier Athletics... "You now have foreseeability. Conduct and document regular inspections of your expectation-of-privacy areas.

Professional Recommendation — Premier Athletics, and similar businesses, need to create an in-house TSCM inspection program. It's cheap, it's easy, it's great for public relations, and it's especially good for staying out of court. Everything you need to know to get started is here.

Home Alarm Tech Backdoored Security Cameras to Spy on Customers

A home security technician has admitted he repeatedly broke into cameras he installed and viewed customers engaging in sex and other intimate acts.

Telesforo Aviles, a 35-year-old former employee of home and small office security company ADT, said that over a five-year period, he accessed the cameras of roughly 200 customer accounts on more than 9,600 occasions—all without the permission or knowledge of customers. He said he took note of homes with women he found attractive and then viewed their cameras for sexual gratification. He said he watched nude women and couples as they had sex.

Aviles made the admissions Thursday in US District Court for the District of Northern Texas, where he pleaded guilty to one count of computer fraud and one count of invasive visual recording. He faces a maximum of five years in prison. more

Check Your Holiday Rental for Hidden Surveillance Cameras

Australia - There's something unsettling about the idea of being watched while you and your loved ones kick back on holidays. If you've searched online to find whether holiday rental landlords spy on their guests, there's plenty to feed your paranoia...

Still, if something feels off or you want to sweep the house, there are some steps you can take. Although without professionals and high-tech gear involved, it can't be 100 per cent accurate...

Julian Claxton, a counter-espionage specialist, recommended a hidden camera detector — small devices that project a light that will reflect off the lens of a covert camera... "The reality is, that's how a lot of these cameras can be found — through anomalies. Things that just don't look right within an environment," he explained.


Tips:

  1. Inspect what's on the Wi-Fi network... Many cameras sold in consumer electronic stores need an internet connection so they can be viewed remotely from a computer or app. This could provide a clue.

  2. Try to spot the camera lens... Julian Claxton, a counter-espionage specialist, recommended a hidden camera detector — small devices that project a light that will reflect off the lens of a covert camera.

  3. Check the power points... Hidden cameras need ongoing power, so Mr Claxton suggested looking at what's connected to power points.
     
  4. Look for oddly placed objects... Hidden cameras can be built into just about anything, but for the lay person, Mr Claxton suggested using "a bit of common sense". more

Also, consider taking a one-hour, on-line, video Spycam Detection Training course.

World's Smallest & World's Best Spy Cameras of 2020

World's Smallest

Weighing just 1g, Austrian company AMS has announced they have made the world's smallest camera. The NanEyeC has a footprint of just 1x1mm so is smaller than the size of a pinhead.

The 102,000 pixel camera only shoots in black and white, but is designed to be invisible when mounted in wearable devices, such VR headsets – and will doubtless also become the ultimate spy camera. more

 
 World's Best Spy Cameras of 2020

We've put together this guide to spy cameras to help you pick out the best one for your home. 

Some are simple small cameras that can be placed somewhere that most people won't notice them, while others are disguised as objects like photo frames or USB chargers. 

We've even found a camera that's disguised as a light bulb! 

As you might imagine, there are loads of creative options in this area. more


 

Another TSCM Fail - Dentist Sweeps Office - In Situ Spycam Missed

Two weeks ago a school district conducted their own "in-house" TSCM sweep for spycams after an employee was charged with 30 child pornography and voyeurism charges. Big fail. Multiple reasons.

This week...

An Illinois dental practice has been sued by 11 employees after an hygienist allegedly hid two cameras in the work bathroom, new court papers show.


One camera was discovered Oct. 22 in a unisex employees’ bathroom of the national dental chain Aspen Dental in Crestwood, and it was turned over to the police department, according to the lawsuits filed in Cook County Circuit Court on Thursday.

That same day, dental hygienist Armani Alexander, 25, “admitted to placing the camera” in the bathroom and was arrested, the court papers say.

The office assured the workers that they swept the premises and didn’t find any more cameras.

Yet Oct. 26, a second camera was discovered in the same bathroom, court documents allege...

Aspen admitted that a background check for Alexander — who had only been with the company for two months — “was flagged for criminal activity,” the court papers say...

The workers — who are each suing for at least $50,000 — have brought claims of negligent hiring and supervision against the practice. more

No surprise there. This DIY amateur hour bug sweep was an exercise in negligence. 

Consider these points...
  • The police were given the first camera and had a confession the same day. "Case closed."
  • We don't know if the police conducted a follow-up inspection for additional cameras. If they didn't, they failed. If they did, they failed to find the second camera.
  • The practice knowingly hired a hygienist with known criminal activity ...and didn't investigate further.
  • No mention of an independent Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) specialist being called in to investigate. Big fail.
  • "The office assured the workers that they swept the premises and didn’t find any more cameras." (Visions of Steve Martin.) ..."Yet Oct. 26, a second camera was discovered in the same bathroom."

 Why is all this important?

Emotional pain and embarrassment aside... not conducting a professional emergency sweep will have expensive consequences, and may put this dentist out of business.

  • 11 employees suing for $50,000.00 each = $550,000.00
  • Cost of recruiting, hiring and training new staff = $????.00
  • Loss of business due to the bad publicity = $????.00+
  • Total cost of their DIY "sweep" (rough guess) "a lot!"
  • Cost of a professional TSCM sweep for an average dental office suite ≈ only $4,500 - $6,000.

If you have an active situation, find a competent TSCM professional.
