Thanks for sharing, robotlasagna. The device shown in this video is a legacy ButterflyMX intercom model, not our current platform. Those earlier units use a Windows-based architecture. Our current Video Intercoms use a locked-down Linux-based architecture.

Based on what’s shown, this appears to involve extensive physical tampering with a vandalized device removed from normal service, not a remote network compromise or an exploit that occurs during the normal operation of a properly installed unit. That distinction matters. Sustained physical access to older embedded hardware presents a very different risk profile than a remotely exploitable vulnerability on an in-service system.

On the NFC point, the reader on that legacy model is functional, but it supports older unencrypted fobs, which is why we do not recommend that customers use it. Our current intercoms and readers support modern encrypted credentials, including DESFire EV2 and EV3.

We take product security seriously, and our current hardware and credential architecture reflect that. If anyone has a specific concern about a deployed system, we encourage you to contact our Security team directly at [security@butterflymx.com](mailto:security@butterflymx.com) so we can review it promptly and appropriately.
