Keeping an eye out for hackers is just as important as keeping an eye on your property through security cameras. Recently, the FBI has issued a warning about a group of cyber troublemakers using a tool known as HiatusRAT to look for security cameras and DVR systems that have old, unpatched security holes.

Now, imagine someone sneaking up to an old, rusty lock that hasn’t been changed in years. It wouldn’t be too challenging for a thief to pick that lock, right? That’s exactly what’s happening in the digital world. HiatusRAT is like a set of lockpicks the hackers are using to try to open the “locks” on these camera systems that haven’t had their security updated in a long time.

You might be wondering, “What’s so bad about someone getting into my camera system?” Well, when hackers break into these devices, they can spy on you, create mischief, or even block your access until you pay them money to get it back. They could also use your camera to attack other people’s systems, and you definitely don’t want to be part of causing someone else trouble.

It’s a little scary to think about, but don’t worry, there’s good news. Keeping your security devices updated can make them much tougher for hackers to break into. Just like fixing a weak lock on your door, updating your digital security keeps your stuff safe.
