Director of Trendnet’s Australian agent, BAX IT services' Matthew Mann, said he had sold 53 affected cameras to 13 customers and that he found out about the security flaw yesterday. He was contacting customers today to get them to install the fix.
"They will have to do a firmware update which is very minimal," he said. Another 70 cameras in stock remained affected by the flaw but would have a fix installed by technicians before they were sold.
