It’s sort of odd that a camera system is being utilized as a
part of a dressing room owner of the sauna; Erik van Ingen Schenau says that the
company had endured a breach in 2015 when hackers had figured out how to
penetrate the system and steal private footages.
As per local reports, hackers figured out how to breach the
reconnaissance camera system in the dressing room of the sauna and afterwards
posted the recordings on adult websites last December.
They admonished to post the stolen recordings on the web if
the cameras weren't taken down.
"I received a mail containing a photo, a
still from a video of one of the security cameras. With the warning that the
images would go online in 14 days if I did not immediately remove the cameras,”
Schenau
said.
A total of seven women players are said to
appear in the pictures that the hackers chose to publish in the recordings the
previous December on adult websites, some of them even naked. What's more, that
everything occurred in spite of the camera being taken offline.
While the presence of a video camera in a
dressing area and a hacker invading this system is stressing without a doubt,
there are no specifics on how precisely the attackers figured out how to
penetrate the system and steal the private footages. The local authorities are
currently ensuring that no other breach would happen since all the cameras have
been removed, as per the local law.
However it’s still not known whether there were
any solicitations sent by local authorities to these sites to expel the content
or not.
