We would also like to tell you about our specials and promotions. If you'd prefer to no longer receive these updates, simply follow the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of this message to opt-out.Hello,We wanted to reach out as soon as possible to inform you of recently discovered security vulnerabilities affecting "Foscam" branded cameras manufactured by China-based Shenzhen Foscam. Foscam US has been notified of 18 security vulnerabilities that exist on cameras manufactured by Shenzhen Foscam which leave users vulnerable to hacks which allow attackers to remotely take-over cameras, live stream, download stored files and even compromise other devices located on the local network. (Source: F-Secure Report available here).The vulnerabilities affect "Foscam" branded cameras and cameras manufactured by China-based Shenzhen Foscam only. The vulnerabilities DO NOT affect Amcrest or FDT branded cameras which are produced by a separate factory and R&D team led by US-based Amcrest (formerly Foscam US and now Amcrest), which is totally unrelated to China-based Shenzhen Foscam. Amcrest split off from China-based Shenzhen Foscam in 2015 / 2016 due to issues relating to distribution, lack of security and quality control and thus Amcrest and FDT cameras are totally unaffected by these latest security vulnerabilities.The models affected include the following:Foscam R2Foscam C1Foscam C1 LiteFoscam C2Foscam FI9800Foscam FI9826PFoscam FI9828PFoscam FI9851PFoscam FI9853EPFoscam FI9901EPFoscam FI9903PFoscam FI9928P(Source CVE Details report available here:) We recommend disconnecting your current Foscam branded cameras from the internet until these issues have been resolved. If you have any questions, please reach out to China-based Shenzhen Foscam directly.Shenzhen Foscam currently have not responded and have not yet provided any patch or fix to address the vulnerabilities.(Source: Arstechnica https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/06/internet-cameras-expose-private-video-feeds-and-remote-controls/More details available here: https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/06/internet-cameras-expose-private-video-feeds-and-remote-controlshttp://www.tomsguide.com/us/foscam-camera-flaws,news-25254.html14027 Memorial Drive #132, Houston, TX 77024, USA Unsubscribe | Change Subscriber Options
