Specifically, a YouTube account called BigBrother’s Gaze has livestreamed the scenes of activities of prisoners for hours on YouTube. In the livestream video, one can see many different angles in the prison. This shows that the hacker has access to the entire prison surveillance system.

Sharing with the press, authorities in Thailand said the camera system at the Lang Suan prison in Chumphon province was hacked. Tracing, officials discovered the attacker from outside Thailand but did not disclose specifically about this group of hackers. There is also no information on how hackers break into surveillance cameras.

However, Narat Sawettanan, head of the Thai Police Department, said prison officials responded promptly by turning off the surveillance camera system as soon as it found it had been hacked.

This person said all the videos were shared publicly from a secret source. This person also advised people to change the default password when setting up the surveillance camera.

On this YouTube channel, people also found some videos taken from security cameras at a Thai company office or Salt Lake street scene in Utah, USA.
