> they can MITM it

Can they? I thought they could only do it if they're in the same LAN.

the exploit is to make camera disconnect and connect to your wifi, that's how they MITM, pretty long process unless you do it often

could be automated though?

yes, everything can be automated, and as you people don't always have time to automate everything, so it depends if your area has many c200 which is a home camera, not outdoor
