Compromised network cameras are prime targets for automated botnets, such as Mirai. Cybercriminals harvest these devices en masse, installing lightweight malware that turns the camera into a "zombie." These hijacked devices are then aggregated to launch massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or conduct distributed credential stuffing campaigns.
