Warning: Compromised IP Cameras Used By Threat Actors To Enable Cyberespionage, Theft, Breaching Into Systems And DDoS

**Executive summary:** The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium warns that Internet-connected IP cameras are frequently compromised—used by malware-driven botnets for DDoS, by advanced persistent threats for espionage (including tracking troop movements), and by criminals for theft and privacy invasion—and recommends identifying device models, applying firmware patches, changing default credentials, isolating cameras on segmented networks, disabling unused services, and enhancing monitoring and detection.
