Security Camera Found Riddled with Bugs – Mexico
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) employees today joined the agency’s police officers and fare enforcement workers to inform riders about new security initiatives. The agency has assigned more police and security officers to some of its busiest locations. In addition, DART is deploying 29 contracted and uniformed security officers on rail platforms in strategic locations, with plans to add another 30 guards this year. The agency also has rolled out a new “DART Say Something” app that enables rides to send texts, photos or videos to report suspicious activity to DART police. DART employees touted the app as the “easiest, most discreet way to report safety concerns,” agency officials said in a press release. Other security efforts include adding security cameras on 48 light-rail vehicles. The agency began installing the cameras in summer 2016. DART plans to install devices on the entire 163-car fleet within two years.

DART Touts Security Efforts, Unveils New Crime-Reporting App – Texas, United States
Tech firm Hanwha Techwin is racing to fix 13 critical security holes found in its popular line of SmartCam security cameras. The patch rollout is part of public disclosure of the vulnerabilities set for today by researchers who discovered the bugs. Flaws range from the use of an insecure HTTP communications protocol to a weak protection of credentials that could allow an attacker to take control of the camera or even use the device as a springboard to launch attacks within a connected network. More troubling, researchers said the flaw could exist across a large segment of Hanwha Techwin cameras that used similar firmware and infrastructure. Researchers only tested the V6410PN model camera and it’s unclear how many model cameras Hanwha is issuing patches for.

Enforcement of Passport Regulation – Peru
Peru is now enforcing its regulation that U.S. citizens must possess a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of arrival to Peru. If your passport does not meet this requirement, you may be refused boarding by the airline at your point of origin or while transferring planes. Should a traveler arrive in Peru with less than six months of validity on their passport, they may be refused entry and returned to the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Peru recommends passports have at least six months of validity when travelling to Peru. If your passport expires sooner than that, please consider renewing your passport at the nearest Passport Agency, Embassy, or Consulate.
