Google Nest Cam IQ presents security flaws
The failures that the product has leave gaps that are an open path for hackers and obviously make it vulnerable to any attack
The Google indoor camera was created with the intention of providing users with a means to protect their home from anywhere. Thanks to it, it is possible to have a complete surveillance of any point of the house.
However, a equipment that was created to protect may end up being what leaves the information and privacy of its users unprotected.
A Cisco Talos research team was given the task of investigating the camera in depth to determine how safe it is. After a complete and thorough review, Lilith Wyatt and Claudio Bozzato, team members, announced that Google Nest Cam IQ has a total of 8 errors that make it vulnerable.
The camera has the mission of being the eyes of the users inside the home. With it, they can check the status of their residence and its inhabitants, regardless of where they are.
It is presented as a flexible tool that can be placed anywhere in the house. Also, its Nest Aware system offers alerts that are triggered to indicate to the user that there is activity of some kind in the house.
Without a doubt, the security and privacy of users on the web is an issue that is increasingly important in society. Therefore, the company cannot ignore the bugs and is expected to take action in the short term.
