I have R0 cameras, now on 5.4.5.
I see there were issues with ealier FW being vulnerable to external attack, I did quick look at 5 pages of posts and couldn't see a summary of the issues.

Was this for cameras exposed directly to the internet (port mapping) or was this via the hik-connect/eviz/laview/<insert branded version here> of the connect services?

I had platform access disabled, upnp disabled and no manual port mapping for 2+ years

Is there a way to know if the camera was breached?

Cameras which are not connected to the internet can’t be breached.
 
If your LAN gets owned, you've got bigger problems than the cameras.
Agreed, but on the average home network if you get a virus it wouldn't be hard for it to target other devices on your network. This is how many consumer routers are hacked.

Just taking the time to change the password from the default would stop the vast majority of these types of attacks. But people are lazy.

*Hammer, crowbar, screwdriver* bang, knock..... breached. :highfive::rofl::winktongue:
 
Right. How plausible is it that a BG breaks into your house with the intent to target your cameras smiley29.gif
