Changing the passwords often, update the software and never install cameras in the bedrooms or in the bathrooms: they are some of the precautions that the Cybersiczza expert Giuseppe Mocerino suggests, commenting on the recent cases of hacked and networking movies, which have involved thousands of unaware users, immortalized in the intimacy of their homes, as happened to the TV presenter Stefano De Martino.
«Video cameras and intelligent devices, such as Smart TVs, are electronic eyes, always focused, which could turn into potential mites for our privacy.When we install the cameras in our homes, for example, the first rule to secure our privacy and mitigate the risk of hacked is to change the password and not to maintain the default one, set by the alarm system.Do not modify it, in fact, it is like leaving the keys to the house under the doormat ».
"We must think that passwords are the keys to access to the systemidigital and for this it is necessary to change them often and choose longer combinations and therefore not easily violable. A good rule is to not install the cameras in particularly private environments, such as the bedroom and the bathroom. Unfortunately Mocerino continues - as soon as we equip our home camera, if we do not adopt the right precautions, we can become potential.Malintented who, who came into possession of private videos, sell them in the dark market of the Dark Web ".
Attention also to baby monitor and all devices, such as smart TVs or appliances equipped with electronic eye: «In this case too, potential risks must not be underestimated.It is always good, therefore, to make the digital coupon, because periodic software updates preserve us from potential viruses and attacks.Some devices are then equipped with a doors that allow you to cover the webcam when they are not in use, but also the adhesive tape, if applied on the cam, can be a valid alternative ».
Defending yourself from cyberc crime is therefore possible but if you fall into the hacker network "you must immediately contact the postal police and simultaneously deactivate all the devices in use by the Internet.We must always remember that each device connected to the internet is a potential target ».
