Families who install cameras in their homes should be wary of hacking and the leakage of private images.

The Ca Mau police have warned that many home security cameras have been hacked, with hackers extracting private images for distribution and extortion, posing a security risk.

According to the Ca Mau Provincial Police, there has recently been a surge in the dissemination and sale of private videos and images from home security cameras on social media.

Much of the content records daily life, and even includes sensitive images, seriously violating people's right to privacy.

Beyond simply accessing data illegally, these individuals also exploit the stolen information for blackmail, defamation, or the dissemination of content that violates the law.

A common cause identified is users retaining default passwords or setting overly simple passwords for their camera systems.

In addition, installing cameras in bedrooms or private areas increases the risk if the device is compromised.

In light of this situation, the police recommend that people change their default passwords and use strong, hard-to-guess passwords.

Users should also update the firmware regularly, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid installing cameras in sensitive areas.

These simple measures will help reduce the risk of attacks, protect personal data, and ensure the safety of every family.
