It is noted that Kremlin hackers gained access to devices for monitoring the transfer of military equipment to Ukraine. An investigation by Dutch intelligence services revealed that the Russian operation targeted cameras on doorbells installed along military transport routes, in order to determine which weapons were being delivered to Kyiv.
Organizations using IP cameras on these routes have been warned so they can take measures
They called it a "large-scale Russian operation" and stated that it was aimed at "European NATO member states, including the Netherlands and Ukraine".
The publication notes that although the intelligence services did not specify the type of cameras hacked, doorbell systems are often used by people to monitor their property from mobile phones. Hackers then use readily available programs to scan devices that may be accessible.
