Description
Think your smart camera is locked down? Think again. Hank Fordham, ethical hacker and cybersecurity specialist, explains how basic oversights—like default passwords and shady devices—are giving criminals an open door into private spaces.
In this eye-opening episode, Fordham explains how low-level actors use tools like AI and Google searches to access thousands of home cameras without breaking a sweat. The conversation moves from South Korea’s camera sexploitation scandal to global digital hygiene, consumer risks, and the growing underground market for stolen footage. Learn what to look for, what to avoid, and how to take back your digital privacy.
