Two Arrested in London for Hacking Washington CCTV Cameras

Two suspected hackers have reportedly been arrested in London on suspicion of hacking 70 percent of the CCTV cameras in Washington with ransomware ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration last month.
The arrest took place on 20th January by the officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) of UK after it received a request from United States authorities, but it has not been disclosed until now.

The NCA raided a house in the south of London last month and detained a British man and a Swedish woman, both 50-years-old, reported The Sun.

Some 123 of the 187 police CCTV cameras used to monitor public areas in Washington DC stopped working on 12 January, just 8 days before the inauguration of Donald Trump, after a cyber attack hit the storage devices.

The cyber attack lasted for about three days, eventually leaving the CCTV cameras out of recording anything between 12 and 15 January.

It was reported that the surveillance cameras were left useless after a ransomware made its way onto the storage devices that records feds data from CCTV cameras across the city. The hackers demanded ransom money, but the Washington DC Police rejected their demand.

Ransomware is an infamous piece of malware that has been known for locking up computer files and then demanding a ransom in Bitcoins in order to help victims unlock their files.

Radio Stations Hacked to Play "F**k Donald Trump" on Loop

One such order signed by the president was banning both refugees and visa holders from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iraq, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and Sudan) from entering the United States, resulting in unexpectedly arrest of some travelers at airports.
Now, it seems like some anti-Trump protesters have publically declared their fight against the president by exploiting a known flaw in low power FM (LPFM) radio transmitters to play a song the radio stations didn't intend to broadcast.

Radio stations in South Carolina, Indiana, Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky, were hacked recently to broadcast the Bompton-based rapper YG and Nipsey Hussle's anti-Trump song "Fuck Donald Trump," which was already a radio hit in some parts of the country last year, several sources report.
The song was repeatedly played on Monday night, according to the RadioInsight, and the news of the incident began emerging shortly after Trump's inauguration on January 20, eight days before hackers hacked 70 percent of the police CCTV cameras in Washington DC.


Hackers gained access to the radio stations by exploiting known vulnerabilities in Barix Exstreamer devices which can decode audio file formats and send them along for LPFM transmission.
Over a dozen radio stations experienced the hack in recent weeks, though some of them shut down their airwaves as quickly as possible in an attempt to avoid playing the inflammatory "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)" song on loop.

The hackers or group of hackers behind the cyber attack is still unknown. The affected stations so far include:

• 105.9 WFBS-LP Salem, S.C.
• Radio 810 WMGC/96.7 W244CW Murfreesboro TN
• 101.9 Pirate Seattle
• 100.9 WCHQ-LP Louisville
• 100.5 KCGF-LP San Angelo TX

However, there are unconfirmed reports from radio stations in California, Indiana, and Washington State that are believed to be affected as well.
