Your DSLR camera can also be hacked with a computer, smartphone...!

In the present case the phone, computer hacked cases are often heard. But due to the increasing technology now DSLR cameras can also be hacked. Security detectors have warned that DSLR cameras may also have ransomware or malware attacks. According to a report, hackers can gain control of their data in the modern camera connected to USB and WiFi.

According to experts, any smart device including a DSLR camera is susceptible to attack. The cameras are no longer only connected to USB, they are also connected to the WiFi network and the associated environment. If the camera is attacked, its images can be taken hostage. They may also ask for money in return for this photo.

However, in modern cameras, photos are not taken as negative. The International Imaging Industry Association has created a protocol. Which is named the Picture Transfer Protocol. Through it the photo of the camera is transferred to the PC. The main emphasis in this protocol is on the transfer of photos. But through it the firmware update of the camera is given a dozen commands.

During one of the research worked on Canon's EOS 80D camera and informed the company about its faults. Since then the company has been working to improve it. Because this protocol also works for companies' cameras. According to the inventor, some cameras also have faults that have reached hackers. The camera should be kept updated with the latest firmware to prevent the camera from hacking. In addition, the camera should not be used over WiFi.

Thank You.
