TL;DR

what: CERT-UA reports that attackers are guessing predictable Dahua serial numbers to reach IP cameras, NVRs and DVRs through the Easy4IP P2P cloud relay, then logging in with weak passwords or the CVE-2021-33044 and CVE-2021-33045 authentication bypasses.

impact: Attackers have watched live video, changed device settings and created rogue accounts, and a related Hunt.io campaign compromised over 14,530 Dahua cameras and backdoored 1,923 of them.
