Slovakia finds Russian backdoors on traffic speed cameras.

A news roundup reports that Slovakia’s national security service found hardcoded Russian backdoors in hundreds of newly installed NERO R-ONE (rebranded CORDON PRO.M) traffic cameras that can be activated via SMS, prompting deactivation and independent audit; Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children disclosed a breach of employee and applicant personal data tied to a third-party application (patient systems were not affected); and TikTok agreed to a $400M settlement with U.S. authorities over alleged violations of children’s privacy protections.
