Korean National Police arrested four suspects in a cybercrime case tied to 120,000+ hacked IP cameras and the sale of stolen footage on an overseas illegal website. The arrests expand an investigation that also targets the site’s operators and the people who bought or watched the illicit material. Authorities said 58 affected locations have been identified and notified, with steps underway to reduce further harm. The case matters because it links large-scale camera intrusion, sexual-exploitation content, and cross-border enforcement.
