SINGAPORE (THE NEW PAPER) - Security cameras in Singapore homes have been hacked, and the footage shared online.
Clips from the hacked footage were uploaded on pornographic sites recently, with several explicitly tagged as being from Singapore.
The videos, which can last from under a minute to more than 20 minutes, feature couples, breastfeeding mothers and even children.
Most of them were in various stages of undress or compromising positions.
Many faces could be clearly seen in different areas of the home such as the living room and bedroom. Some were seen using the toilet with the door ajar.
In one video, time-stamped March 2020, a teenage girl could be seen clad in a white T-shirt and her underwear, with school books around her. Among them was an O-level 10-Year Series book used by students preparing for the exam.
In many of the videos, which were tagged as being from Singapore, the layout of the homes were typical of a Housing Board flat.
The footage appeared to be from Internet Protocol (IP) cameras common in homes in Singapore. They are installed for security purposes or to remotely monitor children, the elderly, domestic workers and pets.
On closer inspection of the videos, it is apparent that a a group dedicated to hacking IP cameras was behind the hacking. The group, which can be found on social messaging platform Discord, has almost 1,000 members across the globe.
As of Saturday, members of the Discord chat claim to have shared more than 3TB of clips with over 70 members, who paid a subscription fee of US$150 (S$203) for lifetime access to them.
The victims appear to be from various countries, including Thailand, South Korea and Canada. A 700MB "sample", containing about 4,000 videos and pictures from hacked footage, is provided free.
A significant portion of the clips seemed to be from IP cameras in Singapore.
The group claims to have a list of more than 50,000 hacked cameras that members can access. It also claims that VIP members will be taught how to "explore, watch live and even record" hacked cameras through tutorials and personalised sessions.
