How hacked surveillance cameras are fueling assassinations in iran?

Surveillance cameras that have been hacked are helping people plan and carry out secret attacks in Iran, like assassinations.

Imagine you have a toy spy camera in your bedroom that sends videos to your phone. Now imagine someone sneaks into your room and changes the camera so it sends videos to them instead of to you. That’s what happened with some surveillance cameras in Iran, people hacked them to get secret information.

Hackers changed the cameras so they could see what was happening in important places, like near government buildings or where leaders walk. It's like having a tiny friend who can watch you from far away and tell your enemies what you're doing.

Once hackers know where people are going, they can send assassins to wait for them in secret places. When the leader walks by, poof, the assassin strikes, and no one knows who did it. It's like playing hide and seek, but instead of hiding behind trees, people hide behind buildings and use cameras to find their targets.

This clever trick makes it hard for people to know who is behind the attacks, just like how you might not know who changed your toy camera!
