Hollywood comes true..again - VideoJak demos hacking and spoofing IP video feeds including cctv and video conferencing

A new tool shown at the Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas last week has the ability to both intercept Internet video feeds and eject false 'looped' images.

This is another example of Hollywood coming true the attacker can hack, monitor and record a CCTV feed (when nothing is happening), then play this back in a loop to hide the actual live feed (presumably while Tom Cruise is lowered down on a black rope).

This tool also provides the ability to intercept video conferencing.

NB - if you are using any kind of conferencing facility you should be working on the basis that the information can be intercepted. Many of us rely on IP streamed video systems, do you know if your system is still secure? If you need help with securing your business communications contact FaberBrent.
