Don't remind me again today

South Korea just witnessed a nightmare scenario for the digital age. Cybercriminals breached over 120,000 home security cameras, then monetized the invasion by peddling explicit footage captured from unsuspecting victims. Authorities have confirmed the scale of this disturbing operation.



This isn't just another data breach story. It's a stark reminder that our "smart" devices can become surveillance tools in the wrong hands. Home cameras, designed to protect us, became weapons against privacy.

Think about the Web3 promise of decentralized security and true data ownership. Cases like this show why we desperately need better infrastructure. Centralized systems remain honeypots for attackers with financial motives.

The real question: How many other connected devices are sitting ducks right now? IoT security remains laughably weak across the board.

120,000 cameras have been hacked. What era are we in that we are still using centralized systems? It's really time to switch to Decentralization.

120,000 cameras were hacked... This is why I'm still afraid to install smart home devices, it's really outrageous.
