It’s the nightmare that no one wants. Hearing voices from inside your house in the dead of night. Now, imagine that you hear those voices coming from your baby monitor and they’re screaming at your child.
As you run into the room, the monitor actually swings and looks DIRECTLY at you!! This is exactly what happened to the Ohio household of Heather and Adam Schrek. The hacker had the gall to start screaming expletives at the terrified father as he ran into the room. It ended when he unplugged the camera. A similar situation occurred in Texas, last year.?In that case, the hacker was able to see the child’s name written on the nursery wall and call out to the child.
Security specialists warn of a new phenomenon called ?wardriving?, where people drive around searching for weak wireless security. As with all Wi-Fi systems, there are ways to be protected and secured.
Rep Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) wants to strengthen the law to ensure that these cyber criminals are punished. Sadly, there are individuals that will act in such heinous ways with little or no regard to how it affects people’s lives.
