The Internet of Things (IoT) enables us to sense and share information of real-world events, including potentially privacy-sensitive information about the users' choices and behaviors. In this paper we focus on the security and privacy problems of Internet-connected cameras. We study two cameras: a consumer camera marketed as a baby monitor, and a surveillance camera marketed for enterprise (physical) security. We show how a generic algorithm can be used to infer actions recorded by the camera, even if the traffic is encrypted, and we also show how both cameras have security vulnerabilities that allow a remote attacker to gain access to the video frames captured by the camera... We analyze the security practices of three smart toys that communicate with children through voice commands. We show the general communication architecture, and some general security and privacy practices by each of the devices. Then we focus on the analysis of one particular toy, and show how attackers can..
