The camera access web interface also has a no-password vulnerability.

Edit: Only 2 of these were actually installed.

…these cameras contain a hardcoded list of Russian phone numbers, which can be used to open a backdoor. An SMS from one of these numbers can open shell and network access.

…the web management portal can be accessed, exposing live streams, by anyone with the camera IP.

Reports also suggest that pressure from the opposition political party in Slovakia led to the NBU investigations. The current government of the country, led by populist Robert Fico, initially denied reports that the cameras were of Russian origin and rebuffed any security concerns. Fico has what some would describe as a pro-Russia tilt, but you can read more about that elsewhere, if you are interested.

    Adding Ukraine to the NATO in no way is aggressive towards Russia

    Well Russia thinks differently. And it doesn’t matter if they are right or wrong, it’s what they are going to do in response to what we did.

    https://archive.kyivpost.com/article/content/ukraine-politics/nato-appeases-russia-ukraine-28817.html

    “Ukraine and Georgia will become members of NATO,” Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer declared on April 3 (2008), citing a phrase from the communique (Summit Declaration) and repeating it twice for the surprised press corps.

    Days after the summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov offered stern warnings against NATO’s drive into the former Soviet Union.

    “We will do everything possible to prevent the accession of Ukraine and Georgia to NATO, and to avoid the possible worsening of relations with the alliance, its leading member states and our neighbors,” he said.

    Three months after the 2008 NATO Bucharest Summit, war in Georgia. Then the Rose Revolution with NED funding, again war with Russia. Then 2013 NED brags about turning Ukraine, 2014 regime change in Ukraine, again war with Russia.

    It’s like you’re not listening. I don’t like Russia, but I understand they are not just going to roll over and accept weapons directed at them 400 miles away from Moscow. They are going to fight tooth and nail. We might bleed them, but they bleed us in return. 5% GPD for Nato 3.0.

    So shit like OP is just going to get more common. And that will cost us liberties because now we have to spy on everything. All of this just because they just wouldn’t understand that Nato is completely benevolent to them lol.
