BitSight has identified thousands of organizations around the world using Internet-facing webcams and similar devices, finding many video and audio feeds susceptible to eavesdropping.
To measure device exposure, BitSight studied hundreds of thousands of organizations from around the world. Our analysis revealed that nearly 3% of BitSight-tracked organizations have at least one Internet-facing videoand/or audio-enabled device, contrary to best practices.
Of these organizations, 9% were found to have at least one device with exposed video and/or audio feeds, allowing an attacker to directly view video feeds and/or eavesdrop on conversations. Therefore, one in 12 BitSight-tracked organizations with Internet-facing webcams and/or similar devices are susceptible to video and/or audio compromise.
