Flaws in telepresence robots allow hackers access to pictures, video feeds

Telepresence robots from Vecna Technologies can be hacked using a suite of five vulnerabilities. The flaws can be combined to allow an attacker full control over a robot, giving an intruder the capability to alter firmware, steal chat logs, pictures, or even access live video streams. Vecna has already patched two of the five vulnerabilities and is in the process of addressing the other three. The flaws were discovered earlier this year by Dan Regalado, a security researcher with IoT cyber-security firm Zingbox. The vulnerabilities affect Vecna VGo Celia, a telepresence robot that can be deployed in the field but controlled from a remote location.
