DSLRs prone to ransomware attacks, even offline: IT security firm

Cybersecurity firm Check Point researchers revealed that some DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are vulnerable to ransomware attacks, even offline. The Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), existing unauthenticated in both wired and wireless modes, is especially vulnerable to malware attacks, researchers said. They demonstrated a way to encrypt photos and display a ransom demand to unlock them.
