Residential security has shifted from passive locks to active, AI-powered digital surveillance networks.
Internet-connected devices are constant targets for cybercriminals. Security cameras are vulnerable to credential stuffing attacks, where hackers use leaked passwords from other data breaches to gain access to user accounts. Furthermore, outdated firmware can leave unpatched vulnerabilities open to exploitation. A compromised camera allows remote actors to spy on residents, track daily routines, or even hijack two-way audio features to harass individuals inside their homes. 3.
