As you might have noticed, I’ve been looking into VStarcam firmware lately. My analysis of 367 firmware branches found something astonishing: starting with approximately 2022 VStarcam has been systematically and intentionally undermining the security of their cameras, adding mechanisms designed to leak the authentication password. While we can only speculate about the reasons, it’s clear that these cameras cannot be trusted with access to the Internet. https://palant.info/2026/01/07/backdoors-in-vstarcam-cameras/
