Modat maps nearly a million video services unintentionally accessible over the internet, with thousands live-streamed without authentication

General News

Summary

Modat published research showing nearly 974,000 internet-accessible RTSP video services across 210 countries. The company found more than 8,000 streams that allowed live viewing without authentication. The findings extend beyond cameras and also cover multimedia frameworks and industrial monitoring systems, including SCADA and critical infrastructure environments. The report suggests that many of these exposures can be reduced quickly by enforcing authentication and routing access through VPNs.
