Russia and Ukraine are exploiting internet-connected surveillance cameras to gather military intelligence, identify targets, and assess attack outcomes. Both sides have successfully used hacked cameras to locate military facilities and adjust strikes. Ukrainian authorities have secured or blocked around 40,000 potentially dangerous cameras within their territory. Similar activities have been reported in the Middle East, with Israel and Iran also using hacked cameras for military purposes.
