Any camera you expose to the internet with no protection is vulnerable.
Follow best practices by keeping your cameras on a separate VLAN that’s isolated from the internet, and you’ll be fine. Use a VPN like Tailscale to view your cameras while away.

It would be nice to know what brands or models are most vulnerable.

What this is talking about is not really about the brand or model, its just about them being misconfigured. These cameras were exposed to the internet with either default credentials or no authentication.
Theres very few good reasons to expose a camera to the internet at all, but if you need to, put some proper authentication in front of it.

An IP camera may stay in use for a decade or more without any firmware updates. You shouldn’t trust any sort of authentication that’s built into the camera to be secure. Keep them on an isolated LAN and only allow access from the server that’s running the DVR software.
