Reporting described a major cybersecurity breach in which CCTV footage recorded inside government-owned theatres in Thiruvananthapuram (Kairali, Sree, and Nila) appeared on pornographic websites and then spread via Telegram/X and other channels. The leaked clips visibly displayed the KSFDC logo on seats, strongly indicating the source. Authorities opened a high-level inquiry and a cyber-cell investigation, with officials considering possibilities including insider misuse by staff with access to surveillance systems or an external intrusion into the CCTV network. No specific perpetrator, intrusion method, or exact timeframe for initial compromise was provided, but the incident resulted in non-consensual exposure of surveillance video of patrons.
