Secretly recorded videos of pilgrim women taking a bath were posted online, leading to the exposure of a CCTV hacking racket at MahaKumbh.
Three individuals involved in selling the hacked videos were arrested, and hard drives, cell phones, bank accounts, laptops, and computers were seized.
Authorities warn that such instances can be used for illegal purposes, highlighting the need for regulatory actions to ensure the safety of national CCTV networks.
Precautions to prevent CCTV hacking include avoiding default passwords and ensuring cameras are not vulnerable to known vulnerabilities.
