Criminal investigations spanned three continents, covering mass IP camera intrusions in South Korea, evil twin Wi‑Fi schemes in Australia, and a dark web drug empire in rural England. Four suspects in South Korea are linked to the compromise of more than 120,000 IP cameras, with two individuals allegedly breaching about 63,000 and 70,000 devices respectively. At least two suspects targeted intimate locations such as gynecology offices to create sexually exploitative videos sold on a site referred to as "Site C" for ₩35 million and ₩18 million. Police stated suspects exploited weak or default factory passwords, visited 58 affected locations to advise owners on password security, and detained three people suspected of purchasing the exploitative videos while the primary suspects remain under questioning. Separate cases involved an evil twin Wi‑Fi clone that led to prosecution in Australia and the dismantling of a rural English dark web drug operation.
