On March 7, the Ministry of Public Security said that since November last year, in response to the incident of sneak peeking, the Ministry of Public Security has launched a crackdown on the black industrial chain of sneak peeking and voyeurism in accordance with the law. The results are as follows:
More than 160 criminal cases were detected, more than 860 criminal suspects were arrested, 15 production dens of special equipment for eavesdropping and photo theft were destroyed, 11,000 pieces of special equipment were seized, and 30,000 network cameras illegally controlled were seized.
In response to this move of the Ministry of Public Security, Xiao Lei is very supportive, only by increasing the investigation of such criminal acts, the criminal suspects will be jealous, and there will be fewer and fewer such criminal acts in society.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also previously introduced higher industry standards for this type. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has increased the monitoring of security threats to webcams and standardized camera companies to produce compliant and safe camera products. Strengthening the supervision of camera companies can effectively avoid the vulnerabilities of networked cameras from the root cause and better protect the network security of users.
We as consumers should also improve our awareness of network security, do not buy non-compliant networking cameras produced by three manufacturers, try to choose a large brand of networking cameras with guarantees, and at the same time use independent passwords, do not set simple passwords such as admin, 111111, and try not to use networking cameras under public WiFi to avoid password leakage.
Consumers pay great attention to the privacy and security of home cameras, and manufacturers can design some physical anti-peeping devices to cater to consumer psychology. For example, manufacturers can design a lid that automatically flips to cover the camera. Manufacturers can also design a flip camera, the camera can be flipped down when no monitoring is required, and a status indicator should be designed so that the user can clearly understand the working status of the camera.
If the user is really not comfortable with the existence of the surveillance camera, the smart network socket can be used at the plug end. When the user does not need to monitor, the power supply of the surveillance camera can be cut off by voice or App.
Where there are interests, there are rivers and lakes. In addition to better regulating the production links of manufacturers, it is also particularly critical to effectively cut off the interest chain of black production. Only by cutting off the profit channels of lawbreakers can we truly protect the personal privacy and network security of the people.
