Child Pornography On Sale From Hacked Hikvision Cameras Using Current Hik-Connect App (ipvm.com)

I think most people aware of Hikvision at this point understand the lack of privacy and security. This seems to take it up to a new level though with their software being used to distribute hacked material obtained by bad actors. Marked as NSFW purely due to the sensitive subject matter of the article.

if they are capturing crimes shouldn't the police follow up to arrest the people in the videos?

Title is borked - what was on sale were credentials to remotely view home cameras in which child nudity may occasionally be involved, and still pictures of the same. There is no mention of abuse nor deliberate exploitation of children. It’s still completely fucked up, illegal, and a massive privacy breach, though.

Thanks. makes sense.

the claim was so fucked up that I did not want to look at the article.
