Many consumer and small-business routers have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled by default. When an IP camera is connected to the local network, it may automatically request the router to forward external ports (such as Port 80 for HTTP or Port 443 for HTTPS) to its internal IP address. This action bypasses the firewall, exposing the camera's login page directly to the WAN (Wide Area Network). 2. Misconfigured Port Forwarding
Mirai and subsequent IoT malware variants actively scan for open IP camera ports. Once compromised, these devices are recruited into botnets to launch massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or mine cryptocurrency.
