Hacker Breaks into Prison Cameras and Live-Streams on YouTube
A YouTube channel named "BigBrother'southward Gaze" reportedly live-streamed surveillance footage of Thailand prison house. The incident took place earlier this week right before Christmas and was spotted past a reporter who then alerted the government officials.
The alive-stream showed the activities of prisoners from dissimilar security cameras. Government at Thailand's Department of Corrections confirmed that the security cameras at Lang Suan Prison in the southern province of Chumphon were compromised past someone whose location was exterior Thailand.
The report states that Corrections Department Director-General Constabulary Col. Narat Sawettanan took immediate actions and ordered the prison to turn off the camera and investigate the incident.
Co-ordinate to the report, the video was incorrectly described as Bangkok prison, while it actually took place in Lang Suan. The video no longer exists on the aqueduct. Manifestly, the channel owner must have taken information technology downward fearing legal actions.
"Dearest friends! I want to apologize to those who may have been offended by my broadcasts. In fact, there was no pause-in. All cameras are in the public domain. P.S. I want to disappoint you, such content is unlikely to appear again on the channel. P. S. Southward. when installing video surveillance modify the standard passwords :)",reads the channel's description.
From this description, it is clear that the alleged hacker only got lucky to access the surveillance camera, which explains why he/she misinterpreted the prison'due south location. Nevertheless, a complaint has been registered and the police section is currently investigating the instance.
This is non the first time a security camera break-in has happened. Several surveillance cameras get compromised and go undetected until the hacker decides to interact. In a recent incident, a Ring camera was compromised putting the privacy of an 8-year old daughter to gamble.
As the FBI recommends, changing the default countersign and using a stiff password could help forbid such incidents from happening to an extent.
