How surveillance cameras are becoming tools of military intelligence

The report highlights the growing use of these cameras in several conflicts, from the confrontation between Israel and Iran to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Governments and hackers have exploited vulnerabilities in civilian devices to obtain information that could influence the planning and execution of military operations. Artificial intelligence further increases the value of compromised video networks by helping operators process large volumes of footage, detect relevant activity and identify patterns that would otherwise require extensive manual surveillance.
