Slovakia's plan to modernize its road traffic control system has raised concerns after it was revealed that the purchased radar cameras are of Russian origin and have security vulnerabilities. The cameras, produced by the Russian company Simitron, can receive commands via SMS from fixed telephone numbers in Russia. A technical analysis found undocumented communication channels and a closed slot for a second SIM card. The Slovak National Security Authority has warned of a significant cyber threat posed by these cameras. The Ministry of Interior has suspended testing of two cameras, and an investigation is ongoing.
