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.
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
