Technology is increasingly present in our lives, this has several advantages, but at the same time it also has many inconveniences being one of them that our privacy is increasingly in check.
This is because due to mobile phones and other devices that have broken into our lives, We are constantly connected and monitored. Either because Google Maps has access to your location, because you upload an Instagram photo, you see the supermarket security camera or the traffic cameras themselves while driving, hiding in such a guarded world is practically impossible.
It has been the United States National Security Department that has put in relief The danger that traffic cameras designed to read registrations havewhich are increasingly common in the streets of the cities. These cameras are designed to collect a huge amount of data such as The brand, model and color of each vehiclewhich easily identifies the driver.
The problem is that These cameras are very vulnerable to all types of cyber attacks, And as they have a huge database with information from thousands of citizens, They have become a new goal for cybercriminals. Worst of all, a hacker and cybersecurity specialist named Matt Brown has shown that These cameras are easily accessible without having very deep technical knowledgewhich turns these cameras into an easy target.
This hacker has indicated that in a rapid check He has found dozens of completely unprotected cameras, what in theory could allow a cybercrime to hack a series of cameras and follow a person, whether famous or not, to Know your patterns and be able to design a cyber attack with more impact or directly go home to steal, Because they know that at that time the victim is not at home.
To avoid these dangers it is crucial that those responsible for these cameras Security measures reinforce and a stricter regulation is created around the information that these are collected.
