Back in April, we attended the 2013 Amsterdam edition of the Hack in the Box (HITB) security conference. One of the many interesting presentations was made by ERNW security researcher Daniel Mende, who demonstrated how high-end cameras can be remotely hacked.

Mende showed the audience several ways in which hackers can access the information stored on Canon EOS 1DX cameras, a model utilized by many professionals, including Reuters journalists.

The high-end Canon EOS-1D X camera can be hacked for use as a remote surveillance tool, with images remotely downloaded, erased and uploaded, a researcher said during the Hack in the Box security conference in Amsterdam on Wednesday.

The digital SLR camera has a Ethernet port and also supports wireless connection via a WLAN adapter. That connectivity is particularly useful for photojournalists who can quickly upload the photos to a FTP server or a tablet, according to German security researcher Daniel Mende of ERNW.
