About this tag
The digital watchdog tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of Digital Watchdog VMAX surveillance recorders and the security problems that affect them. Coverage centers on CISA advisory ICSA-26-258-01, which warns that local exploitation of flaws in VMAX A1 G4 DVRs, VMAX IP G4 NVRs, VMAX A1 Plus units, VA1G4 recorders, and VG4 recorders can hand an attacker full administrative control.
