**Suit 02 of 9 · 6 threats, 2 of them life-safety · prefix AV**

Sight and sound threats come from cameras, microphones and talk-back: the stream reaches the wrong people, sees too much, or lets a stranger into the room.

**Scope:** Cameras, microphones, talk-back, live streams and recordings.

*Text version: every entry on this page is in the [PDF and Excel downloads](/taxonomies/care-assistant/#downloads) on the overview page, where it can be searched and copied.*

† marks a life-safety entry: one whose failure can leave someone without help when they need it.

## Where this suit touches others

- **Sight and Sound and Care Circle:** the camera carries the person straight to the watchers; the care circle is who those watchers are and what they do with it.

## Seen in the wild

- **EOC-AV-A A Stranger's Voice:** Stranger speaks to a child through a bedroom camera (Ring, 2019).
- **EOC-AV-K Open Stream:** ThroughTek Kalay device impersonation, CVE-2021-28372 (2021); TRENDnet camera feeds posted online, FTC settlement (2013).
- **EOC-AV-Q Clips That Travel:** iBaby Monitor M6S alert clips reachable in cloud storage (2020).

Sources for each case are listed on the [overview page](/taxonomies/care-assistant/#sources).

## STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE

Of the 6 entries here, STRIDE fits 3 cleanly and 2 only loosely, and none of its categories applies to 1. LINDDUN fits 5 cleanly, and has no category for 1. CAPEC 3.9 describes 3 directly and has nothing for 3. CWE 5.0 names the weakness directly for 2, has only a broader weakness for 3 and has nothing for 1. None of them is missed by all four frameworks. The table below gives the mapping entry by entry, with the names of the CAPEC patterns and CWE weaknesses; what the mapping shows across the whole taxonomy is in [Mapping the Care Assistant Threat Taxonomy to STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE](/care-assistant-taxonomy-stride-linddun-capec-cwe-mapping/). The Excel, SKOS and STIX downloads carry the same mapping as text.
