Nikon D750 Uses an Unsecured Wi-Fi Network for Transferring Images

From AmateurPhotographer.co.uk:

"Nikon has advised D750 DSLR users to manually activate the security setting on Nikon’s Wi-Fi software app for mobile devices, to avoid the risk of unauthorised access to the camera’s images by a third party.

Amateur Photographer (AP)’s technical team has discovered a potential security flaw during their review of a full-production sample of the D750, which went on sale in the UK two days ago.

If users do not manually activate the Wi-Fi security settings, via the app, then they could expose the D750’s images to unauthorised access."

AP technical editor Andy Westlake added:
"If you have Wi-Fi turned on, anyone with a smart device and the Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility can connect to the camera and download images from the memory card without the owner’s permission."
