Four Arrested After Massive IP Camera Hack in South Korea
Authorities in South Korea say four suspects hacked more than 120,000 home and business IP cameras, creating and selling sexually exploitative videos through a foreign website. The hackers targeted devices with simple passwords.
The compromised cameras included those in private apartments, fitness studios, karaoke rooms, and a gynaecology clinic. Two suspects produced most of the site’s content, selling it for virtual assets.
Police are blocking the illegal site, coordinating internationally, and advising victims to immediately update passwords.
