Hackers compromised approximately 120,000 IP cameras in South Korea, capturing and selling intimate footage from private spaces, including homes and businesses. The incident has led to an investigation of four suspects, with two individuals allegedly hacking into 63,000 and 70,000 cameras, generating significant profits from the sale of the recorded content. The South Korean government has initiated reforms in response to this breach.
