The 41-year-old man accessed 638 South Korean apartment complexes, exploiting over 400,000 smart home devices to steal photos and videos, selling them for 0.1 Bitcoin each.
The hacker's breach led apartment residents to cover cameras due to leaked intimate footage. He unsuccessfully tried to hide by using overseas servers.
Arrested by South Korea's police, the hacker had 213 videos and 400,000 photos seized. Previously, he showcased hacking wallpads in a 2019 interview.
While defending his actions as revealing security flaws, the court rejected the argument, emphasizing the severity of the breach and invasion of privacy.
