In the course of evaluating the performance of Martel's body camera sold for police officers, iPower researchers discovered that the computer worm "Conficker" was pre-installed in the body camera. When connecting this body camera to the network in an isolated virtual environment, iPower found that it found a security hole and diffused the worm. It seems that these computer worms are not dummies but have been found to be genuine that actually functions.
Pre-installed in Martel's body camera was a computer worm called "Conficker B" that mainly attacked the vulnerability of the server service and attacked the administrator's password in dictionary attack and received a command from the network .
For an unusual situation that a malicious computer worm is preinstalled on a body camera for police officers, iPower asked Martel selling body cameras a detailed answer by phone or multiple e-mails at the moment It seems that Martel has not obtained answers.
I do not yet know the reason why Conficker was put in a body camera for police officers and what its purpose is. However, if video of the body camera was submitted as proof of the trial, the defense counsel prove the computer worm infection of the body camera and point out the vulnerability, so that the picture of the camera loses the evidence capability or evidence Such as making a jury suspicion about truth, there is not a little influence,Ars TechnicaI point out.
