According to local media such as the Times of India, the CCTV hacking incident, which began at the Fayal Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in Gujarat, India, is turning into a nationwide cybercrime.
Hackers broke into the system using the basic password set in the hospital CCTV system, and recorded and leaked medical scenes of female patients for hours.
These videos are being sold commercially after being posted on overseas adult bulletin boards.
Some were released in the form of teasers through YouTube channels, and it was revealed that they were selling videos for 700 to 4,000 rupees (about 10,000 to 65,000 won) by inducing users to Telegram.
According to the investigation, the hackers had been accessing the hospital system for about a year from January to December 2024. Police believe that the hackers arrested in February this year have siphoned off more than 50,000 videos. There are also reports of similar damage in 20 states across India, including Pune, Mumbai, Nasik, Surat, Ahmedabad and Delhi, as well as Gujarat.
The main targets were CCTV systems in hospitals, schools, dormitories, cinemas, factories, and private homes.
