In a public letter sent to 25 tech companies, the NGO, Consumer Report urged the companies to improve privacy and security practices and settings of their Internet of things (IoT) products, mainly connected cameras. The letter details some of the latest incidents of camera hacking that took place in the last few months in the USA, highlighting the urgency of addressing these issues. The letter recommends the companies to implement the following measures: (a) Installing automatic firmware and software updates, creating protection against credential stuffing and reuse.
