Four people have been arrested in South Korea for allegedly hacking more than 120,000 video cameras in homes and businesses and using the footage to make sexually exploitative materials for an overseas website. Police announced the arrests on Sunday, saying the accused exploited the Internet Protocol (IP) cameras' vulnerabilities, such as simple passwords.
A cheaper alternative to CCTV, IP cameras -- otherwise known as home cameras -- connect to a home internet network and are often installed for security or to monitor the safety of children and pets.
Locations of cameras hacked in the country reportedly included private homes, karaoke rooms, a Pilates studio and a gynecologist's clinic.
