'SOMEONE HACKED ALMOST HALF A MILLION DEVICES AROUND THE WORLD. WHY? THEY WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE INTERNET LOOKED LIKE.'
This is a portrait of internet usage around the world created illegally by a hacker who accessed nearly half a million connected devices, simply by using the 'root' password to the devices which in general we don't change. He used the data of devices which were online to create this infographic map, where red represents peak usage and blue the lowest.
Some people would find it unethical that someone has 'hacked' them however it wasn't to cause any harm and created something really interesting!
