Risky Bulletin: Slovakia finds Russian backdoor in traffic speed cameras

Slovakia's national security service (NBU) identified a backdoor in NERO R-ONE traffic speed cameras that executes malicious code triggered by SMS messages from hardcoded Russian phone numbers. The agency launched an investigation after reports revealed the devices were procured through a no-bid contract from a Cyprus shell company using fraudulent certifications.

Why it matters: Government agencies and municipalities operating these cameras face potential compromise of critical infrastructure and surveillance systems; practitioners should audit deployed NERO R-ONE units and evaluate procurement controls for similar supply chain vulnerabilities.
