Three individuals have been apprehended in a significant case involving the hacking of a hospital CCTV network, where sensitive video footage of women patients was sold online. This raises crucial questions about cybersecurity in medical institutions.

The Ahmedabad police initially registered the case on February 17, following the dissemination of videos showing women patients being examined within the hospital's labor room, which were then monetized on platforms like YouTube and Telegram.

The arrests, including a resident of Surat and two from Sangli, highlight the disturbing trend of exploiting vulnerabilities in CCTV systems. The suspects reportedly earned substantial profits from this illicit activity, pointing to an urgent need for improved digital security protocols in healthcare settings.
