Wow very interesting. They are finding new ways and methods of hacking everyday.

It's funny how they were choosing hikvision products only. Bitcoin has mostly to do with the Chinese and hikvision is a company out of China. Hmmmm

Also interesting how they are 'cracking down' on US vendors and unauthorized sellers....

Yeah I read about that the other day. Exploiting the people who don't change their default username and password on their DVR. And there are lots of them!

There are tons of people that do not change their username and password on every manufacturer. For some reason, the hackers decided to hack only into hikvision for their bit coining.
