Security News > 2021 > January > Warning Issued Over Hackable ADT's LifeShield Home Security Cameras

Newly discovered security vulnerabilities in ADT's Blue home security cameras could have been exploited to hijack both audio and video streams.

LifeShield was acquired by Florida-based ADT Inc. in 2019, with Lifeshield's DIY home security solutions rebranded as Blue as of January 2020.

The security issues in the doorbell camera allow an attacker to.

Lastly, the researchers also found that an unsecured RTSP server sans any credentials could be exploited to access the video stream at "Rtsp://10.0.0.108:554/img/media.sav" using any media player such as VLC. While patches have been applied to the production servers and all the 1,500 affected devices, with no easy way to confirm if the camera users installed the firmware updates, Bitdefender chose to delay public disclosure by more than five months.

"Customers have security choices when it comes to securing their smart homes or small businesses," the researchers said.

"Carefully researching IoT vendors for security update policies to their products, changing default passwords, separating IoTs into different subnetworks, and even regularly checking for firmware updates are only a handful of practical and hands-on security tips that anyone can adhere to."
