Ukraine: Online cameras in Kyiv targeted by Russian espionage effort

Russia has been alleged by Ukraine’s security service to have breached online surveillance cameras on residential buildings in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in a bid to conduct espionage on the country’s critical infrastructure and air defense forces, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. While initially meant to monitor buildings’ surrounding areas, two of the compromised web cameras, which have already been shut down, had their viewing angles changed and were linked to YouTube for streaming by Russian intelligence services, with the footage eventually used by Russia to facilitate its major missile strike against Ukraine on Jan.
