This is a stupid hed. We can go without "From Iran to Ukraine" and get the same point across.

"From X to Y" constructions rarely hold up in proper journalism. So, "everyone" is in a very small geographic region? From Iran to Ukraine necessarily excludes, oh, say, the U.S., Russia, China. Also, anything several miles from the Caucasus.

"In these two wars, security cameras are being hacked as a way to gain intelligence"

Fixed the headline.

My DVR and IP cameras are on a network with no internet access. My server has access to the camera network and I can connect to the server over a VPN for remote viewing. I definitely don't trust the DVR or the IP cameras. They are constantly trying to connect to a bunch of different IP addresses, some of which are in China.
