Stranger hacks family's baby monitor and talks to child at night
- otoburb 11y agoA concrete cautionary tale for our soon-to-be IoT connected world.
- qb45 11y agoThe Internet of Things That Spy On You. There are websites which scan the Internet for publicly accessible cameras, grab preview pictures and display lists of them. Lots of public CCTVs, but also offices, zoos (really) and of course private homes (although they tend to de-index those). You see a preview you like, click it and they send you to the webcam's video feed or web interface. Sometimes there are even controls to reorient the camera in different direction. Too bad the OP didn't tell if this particular "hack" also involved just guessing the IP address and TCP port or if they actually had to make an effort to bypass some kind of authentication.
