Indian authorities have uncovered a sprawling cybercrime operation involving the hacking and sale of sensitive CCTV footage from hospitals and other institutions across the country. The breach, which compromised over 50,000 surveillance systems, has raised significant concerns about privacy and cybersecurity in India, where CCTV cameras are ubiquitous. The investigation began after videos from a maternity hospital in Gujarat were discovered on YouTube and Telegram, showing intimate medical procedures involving pregnant women. These videos were linked to Telegram channels where longer clips were sold for 800–2,000 rupees ($9–22). The hospital director claimed the cameras were installed to protect doctors from false allegations, but they have since been removed from sensitive areas. Police have arrested eight individuals connected to the racket, charging them with violations of privacy, voyeurism, and cyber terrorism. Cybersecurity experts warn that poorly secured systems, often using default passwords, are vulnerable to hacking. They recommend robust passwords, regular audits, and manufacturer warnings to improve security. The case highlights the broader issue of inadequate cybersecurity measures in India, where surveillance systems are widely used but often lack proper safeguards.
