Hackers Gonna Hack
Remember how we said baby monitors can sync with other baby monitors in the area? If that’s not frightening enough, maybe this story will give you goosebumps. This mother heard a mysterious noise coming from the baby monitor, and upon inspection, she found the camera moving around on its own.
Back when baby monitors with two-way audio were fairly new, they weren’t the most hack-proof devices. Hackers could gain access to our nanny cams, view us in our most vulnerable moments, and even communicate with us via the speakers. Thankfully, modern nanny cams have somewhat solved this problem, but they’re still not 100% hack-proof.
