Unpacthed D-Link Wi-Fi Camera Flaw Remotely Exploitable

6/8/2016

The vulnerability is a stack overflow in software running on the camera, specifically a service that processes remote commands, Senrio said in its report.
“The vulnerability allows code injection and causes a password reset, granting the attacker remote access to the camera feed,” Senrio said. “Thus, even if users create a strong password, this type of vulnerability can override them.”

Senrio Emerges from Stealth Mode with Internet of Things Cybersecurity Platform

6/8/2016

“The market needs a comprehensive answer to the IoT dilemma: A dramatic increase of deployed devices, high susceptibility to attacks due to inherent vulnerabilities and high value of the accessible assets. Today, there are few solutions to this challenge. However, Senrio offers a much-needed new approach,” said Christina Richmond, Program Director, Security Services, IDC.

“We typically associate the term ‘Internet of Things’ with the consumer world, smart toasters and WiFi fridges; however, a large part of our life depends on networked embedded devices that have been around for decades. Think of smart meters, medical devices, and connected industrial controllers used for elevators, traffic lights, and factories. Adoption is driven by business rationale but the security exposure is often overlooked. Based on my experience, there is not a single IoT device that cannot be compromised or misused by a determined attacker,” said Stephen Ridley, CEO of Senrio.

IoT Security Startup Senrio Grabs $1.5M

6/7/2016

Senrio, a company focused on securing the Internet of Things, on Wednesday said it found a vulnerability in a WiFi camera sold at Best Buy stores and on Amazon.com.
The startup said that WiFi cameras made by Taiwanese company D-Link Systems Inc. have a flaw that could allow hackers to hijack cameras. D-Link told the Wall Street Journal it is “proactively working with” Senrio to address the vulnerability.
D-Link said it would provide additional testing information to customers online and did not say how many customers were affected by the flaw.
