Indian hackers steal CCTV footage from maternity ward, sell it on Telegram

Police in Gujarat are investigating a large-scale cybercrime network after hackers stole and sold security camera footage from across India, including sensitive videos from a maternity ward. The stolen footage, some of which showed intimate medical procedures, was circulated on Telegram and YouTube, with access sold through paid subscriptions. Authorities say the hackers infiltrated at least 50,000 cameras in hospitals, schools, offices, and private homes, exposing serious flaws in privacy protection and cybersecurity. Eight suspects have been arrested, and experts warn that poor security settings and lack of training leave many camera systems vulnerable to such attacks.
