Protei, a Russian telecom company specializing in surveillance technology, was hacked, resulting in data theft and website defacement. The breach exposed around 182 gigabytes of files, including sensitive emails, and was linked to the company's involvement with deep packet inspection systems used for censorship. The hacker's identity remains unknown.

Over 40,000 security cameras worldwide are accessible via the internet, allowing potential hackers to exploit them for spying and other malicious activities. The cybersecurity firm Bitsight warns that these cameras, often used in homes and small offices, are at risk due to inadequate security measures, making them targets for cyberattacks. Users are advised to implement stronger security practices to protect their devices.
