Hackers managed to break into the surveillance system of 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 account 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 access throughout the surveillance system.
Thai authorities say the camera system of Lang Suan prison in the southern province of Chumphon has been attacked by hackers abroad, but no further details have been released. Also, no information was released on how the hackers managed to break into 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 were not taken as a result of a breach, and advises them to change the default passwords access when installing the surveillance cameras.
The account was created on October 26 and today has 1.700 subscribers.
