Nikon Coolpix P1 WiFi Vulnerable to Attacks

It has been all the rage lately for companies to slap WiFi enabled image transfers into their digital cameras, but Nikon’s Coolpix P1 which was introduced last year could also open up your PC to a whole range of attacks as people use the camera as a way of doing denial of servce attacks, infected JPGs and executables, not to mention being able to snag your images.

The real bad news is that Nikon does not have an easy fix for this problem other than recomending that you not install the included WiFi software, thus removing the ability for the camera to transfer the images wirelessly. Back to memory cards I guess…
