Secret eyes in our home... Danger of cyber espionage! Expert names listed one by one: Do this now to protect your privacy

Cameras that cover every area of ​​our lives, from homes to workplaces, from streets to schools, can become surveillance tools of foreign intelligence services. On the other hand, cyber hackers can infiltrate everything from baby monitors to robot vacuum cleaners.

So, how can we make our living spaces safe? Forensic Information Specialist Prof. Dr. Ali Murat Kırık made evaluations on the issue on CNN Türk and warned the citizens.

THE DANGER OF SPYING ON CAMERAS

Stating that cameras are no longer used for security but for espionage and intelligence activities, Kırık said, "Many devices, from baby cameras to apartment cameras, from robot vacuum cleaners to workplace security systems, carry the risk of remote access due to security vulnerabilities. Cyber hackers access this camera and cause privacy violations." he said.

Every device that can connect to the internet is open to remote access. If security measures are not taken, every device in the household may fall under the control of cyber hackers or intelligence organizations.

THEY CARRY RISKS DUE TO SECURITY Vulnerabilities

Kırık said, "Israel carried out the murder of Khamenei by infiltrating the cameras in Iran. In the Russia-Ukraine war, the parties also collected information about military targets with this method. The point we need to draw attention to here is that the issue is not limited to just viewing the images; connected networks are accessed through seized and hacked devices. In other words, the data existing in the cloud system is also captured. There is a security risk in a wide range of areas, from personal data to critical infrastructures." he said.
