DAHUA Recording Devices have been Hacked globally
It seems that many recording devices manufactured by DAHUA have been accessed and reconfigured, one way or another, by automated software developed by hackers. Usually, these are devices that are directly connected to the Internet and are accessed directly, not via a VPN or, maybe, a SSH tunnel (please contact us if you want to know how to secure your devices).
Devices affected include DVRs, HCVRs, NVRs, XVRs etc.

DAHUA DVR Reset Button
The DVRs don’t have a `general reset button`. But, if you have forgotten your password, you can use our reset password service and then reset the device through the dedicated Settings Menu.
Enable telnet – DAHUA
Question: How can I enable telnet access?
Answer: On some devices you can use this URL: http://DEVICE IP:HTTP port/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Telnet.Enable=true . You will need a valid username and password for this operation to succeed.
If you have forgotten your password, you can use our DVR / NVR password recovery service.
We do not recommend to keep your telnet service enabled, as your device and your private video surveillance system will become a target for hackers.

DAHUA Devices used for DDoS attacks
Seems that the vulnerability we’ve been investigating and patching (at least, for our clients that love to have their networks secured) has been used to fuel up a BOTNET [roBOT+NETwork] (or maybe more) of CCTV devices. Or, at least, part of it.
Although we are a 3rd party company, we are keen to provide our users with safe devices/increase the security of their existing devices. We already have developed a VPN-based / SSH-based backup-plan for those that are using these systems, so please feel free to contact us
For those that are affected (victims) of these type of attacks, we will provide, on request, a solution that we think it falls into ‘active cyber defense’ – a future way to protect online businesses and consumers. You are also encouraged to contact us for a brief discussion.
