[Article] Foscam Security Issue, Upgrade Your Firmware ASAP

[electron]

I know many folks allow direct internet access to their cameras, and the Foscam cameras are pretty popular, so make sure you upgrade to the latest firmware if you haven't already.
 
There is a security issue which allows unauthenticated users to access your camera's file system, which means they can steal your web & Wi-Fi password.
 
This issue was originally reported here, and while it hasn't been announced by Foscam, their latest firmware update does address the issue.

Thank-you Dan.
 
I have a Foscam PT in the garage and I am wondering about adding it to the camera list.

Definitely add it to the list if you don't mind, I want the database to reflect the cameras people are using, vs listing any camera available for sale.
