Cutting Through the Cybersecurity Noise

Subheadline: 
Here's what's important this week: September 21, 2018
Original Release Date:

Take Action 

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera users: check with your vendor/manufacturer to see if they use software made by NUUO. A security researcher discovered a major software flaw, dubbed Peekaboo, that gives cyber criminals control of certain video surveillance cameras, allowing them to secretly monitor, tamper with, and even disable feeds. If you use the vulnerable devices, restrict and control network access to them to authorized and legitimate users only. The vendor's 9/18 update to firmware,, version 3.9.0.1, is supposed to patch the vulnerability.
