Cybersecurity researchers have identified critical vulnerabilities in Axis Communications' surveillance products, exposing over 6,500 servers globally, including nearly 4,000 in the U.S., which could allow attackers to take control of cameras and compromise internal networks. These flaws involve remote code execution and authentication bypass issues, though no exploits have been observed in the wild.
Engineers from Axis Communications successfully filmed an ice hockey match from below the ice using a specially designed camera, overcoming logistical challenges such as encasing the camera in ice and ensuring clear footage. The experiment utilized a high-definition sensor and a rugged main unit, with the camera mounted horizontally within the ice and frozen in place. The resulting footage provided a unique and exciting perspective of the game, demonstrating the capabilities of the camera technology in extreme conditions.
