Hackers Exploit Hikvision Camera Flaw to Steal Sensitive Data
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2025 1:49 pm
Security researchers have observed renewed exploit campaigns targeting an eight-year-old backdoor in Hikvision cameras to harvest configuration files, user lists, and snapshots.
Attackers automate scans across IP ranges, appending a base64-encoded “auth” parameter to management URLs.
When decoded, the string commonly reveals “admin:11,” enabling unauthorized access. Organizations relying on older camera firmware are at heightened risk of data leakage.
