Edit: Only 2 of these were actually installed.
…these cameras contain a hardcoded list of Russian phone numbers, which can be used to open a backdoor. An SMS from one of these numbers can open shell and network access.
…the web management portal can be accessed, exposing live streams, by anyone with the camera IP.
Reports also suggest that pressure from the opposition political party in Slovakia led to the NBU investigations. The current government of the country, led by populist Robert Fico, initially denied reports that the cameras were of Russian origin and rebuffed any security concerns. Fico has what some would describe as a pro-Russia tilt, but you can read more about that elsewhere, if you are interested.
Wow, you flipped from a concern troll to an angry teenager very quickly, it usually takes more than that with your lot. It seems the more precarious Russia’s position gets the touchier you guys get too. I also don’t know why you are talking about stuttering when we are communicating via text, it probably sounded cooler in your head!
If if if, bla bla bla. You are living in dreamland here talking about the most unlikely of scenarios, why waste our time? Even in your dreamland Russia is reactionary and not in control of the narrative.
You are correct when you say Russia has been constrained in their negligible response the Europe spending billions to kill Russian boys on the front lines. Russia has done nothing and will continue to do nothing because Russia is a yappy little dog, all bark and no bite. Russia only knows how to bully countries weaker than theirs but made a mistake in thinking Ukraine was in this category. Russia will continue to do nothing because they have nothing they can do. The only language Russia understands is violence and they are getting it.
You think Russia is bleeding the west? Delusions of grandeur buddy. If you haven’t been paying attention, Putin has loaded the war debt onto Russian banks that are currently creaking. Russian people are withdrawing their savings from banks at increasing rates month on month as fears on a Russian banking collapse intensify. If anyone knows what a banking and state collapse looks like, it is the Russian people. Russia is on the clock here big time.
The only way we see this is when Putin knows all is lost and wants to goad NATO into the fight so he can pretend he lost to NATO instead of the embarrassing reality.
Mock me all you want. I’m not the only one saying this, read this article by a retired UK commodore. The reality that Europe simply cannot afford a war with Russia any longer is going to hit soon.
The crank writing this article should be dismissed as soon as he says,
“Finally, as I explained in January 2025, NATO is a now military shadow of its former self and could not win a conventional war against Russia”
If you read the article all the way to the end it also states that the article was originally drafted in March 2025 but was “thought to be too radical”.
A whole lot has changed since March 2025, the EU has not collapsed as he predicted. Russia’s economy on the other hand is at deaths door, oil refineries and warehouses burn as Russians que for hours at petrol stations.
The writer of the article called for complete, immediate and total capitulation to every Russian demand and questions NATO’s very post cold war existence all while the very country NATO was set up to deter is waging a land war in Europe. This myopic viewpoint is not a serious analysis of geopolitics yet you lap up the drivel because of your own confirmation bias.
That’s the curse of the internet, we can all find articles that support our own views and biases. I hope you are comfortable living in your echo chamber as Russia falls apart because some crackpot dissenter supports what you support.
Every accusation is a projection
Loser talk buddy, absolutely irrelevant to the conversation. Almost as bad as your stutter line…
