Hackers managed to get into the system monitoring a Thai prison and then broadcast live videos on YouTube.
Although no details have been released about the hackers, local authorities say the breach was discovered when a journalist saw the live streaming and alerted prison officials.
According to one Star Online report, One accountς YouTube που ονομάζεται BigBrother's Gaze ανέβασε για αρκετές ώρες σε live streaming τις δραστηριότητες των κρατουμένων. Επειδή τα βίντεο εμφάνισαν υλικό από πολλές κάμερες στην εκπομπή, πιστεύεται ότι οι hackers απέκτησαν πρόσβαση σε ολόκληρο το σύστημα επιτήρησης.
Thai authorities announced that the camera system at Lang Suan Prison in the southern province of Chumphon, received attack by hackers outside the country, but no further details were given. Also, no information was shared about how the hackers were able to compromise the surveillance cameras.
As soon as the guards realized the violation, they reacted by closing the entire surveillance system. In addition, this YouTube channel does not currently have any videos, most likely after the account holder removed them.
In the channel information, the owner says that the videos have not been taken as a result of a breach, and advises them to change the default codeof access during the installation of surveillance cameras.
The account was created on October 26 and today has 1.700 subscribers.
