Hacker Breaks into Political Party’s Video Conference System; Could Spy, too!

A Canadian federalist provincial political party was hacked by a white hat hacker. The hacker accessed the party’s video feeds during PLQ meetings, observed and listened to PLQ discussion. The party officials confirmed the data breach and took the bug report by the hacker seriously. After thoroughly investigating the issue, the PLQ officials fixed the bug and had changed the default password of their video conferencing software; the officials said that no sensitive or nation-level issue was ever discussed in those meetings.
