THE CCTV ASSASSINS How hacked cameras which helped kill Iran’s Ayatollah & spooked Putin could be used in attack on UK
WHEN Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was assassinated on the first day of the Iran war, the audacious strike stunned the world.
But the espionage behind it was even more jaw- dropping.
The Supreme Leader’s movements had been tracked after Israeli intelligence hacked Tehran traffic cameras and AI was used to build a picture of his movements.
The operation panicked Vladimir Putin, who ordered spooks to turn off the surveillance system used to protect him amid fears it could be compromised.
But it also raises worrying questions about our safety in the UK amid a remarkable rise in the capability of AI to analyse thousands of hours of hacked footage in seconds.
Security expert Roger Macmillan, a former adviser to London-based Iran International, the TV station whose staff have been targeted by Iranian agents, said: “We’ve got to take this seriously.”
According to a report by the Financial Times, Israel gained access to nearly every traffic camera in Tehran over the course of a complex surveillance operation years in the making, allowing them to track the movements of key figures.
One particular camera was angled toward the area where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s security team parked their cars.
It allowed them to build files on the guards, including their addresses, work schedules and who they were assigned to protect.
They also disrupted a dozen mobile phone towers near Pasteur Street in Tehran, the location of Khamenei’s assassination, meaning anyone trying to deliver possible warnings to the late leader’s security and protection teams were met with busy signals.
