Cincinnati, Ohio. The Schreck family heard something unusual at home. They were sleeping in their bedroom when they heard it. It seemed to be coming from across the hall in their child’s room. It was a voice. An adult voice. Heather and Adam Schreck‘s heart sank. ‘What was going on?!’ They couldn’t have been more concerned as they raced over to investigate…
“All of a sudden, I heard what sounded like a man’s voice but I was asleep so I wasn’t sure,” Heather says. “About the time I saw it moving, I also heard a voice again start screaming at my daughter. He was screaming, ‘Wake up baby! Wake up baby!’ Then just screaming at her trying to wake her up. Then it screamed at us,” Adam claims. “Some bad things, some obscenities. So I unplugged the camera.”
Their baby monitor had been hacked. It’s an unthinkable situation, but many baby monitors broadcast live over the internet so that customers can log in via smartphones and tablets. And if something is online, hackers can invariably access it. And once they do hack a baby monitor, they can watch your child. And even communicate with them… It’s shocking stuff. Find out more:
