Your home camera may become an accomplice to the thief

Have you ever thought that the surveillance camera that was originally used to ensure security has suddenly become an accomplice to the thief to understand whether you are at home and then choose the opportunity to enter the room? Recently, researchers from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have researched through the data and found that hackers do not need to call your camera at all. They only need to know the amount of traffic generated when the camera uploads data and can understand you life and time away from home and things to know.

At present, this situation has not yet occurred, because to achieve this kind of network attack, the attacker needs to have sufficient technical level to do it, but this does not mean that it cannot happen. QMUL joint research has found this risk, if attackers create corresponding programs and sell them online, it is very harmful to personal security.
