According to the Huffington Post, baby monitor hacking has become a problem in recent years, following the rise of baby monitors with Wi-Fi connections. There have been a number of stories similar to Sarah and Jay’s.
An Indiana mother says that she heard the song “Every Breath You Take” by The Police playing over her daughter’s baby monitor, followed by “sexual noises.”
In another incident in Texas, parents say they heard a hacker’s voice through their 2-year-old daughter’s baby monitor. The voice called the toddler “a moron,” among other insults.
Vikas Bhatia, a cybersecurity company executive and father who researched the issue while shopping for monitors for his own baby, says that parents should take these incidents into consideration when shopping for baby monitors.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is catching serious heat for what he was caught on camera saying to an Uber driver:

“The first question I would ask anyone who is buying a Wi-Fi enabled baby monitor is, ‘Do you specifically want to be able to access this monitor from outside the house?’… Most of the time, I hear, ‘No,'” Bhatia said.
A Huffington Post piece by Jenna Flannigan tells parents who do purchase a Wi-Fi enabled baby monitor that they should make sure that the manufacturer is proactive about updating the product’s security and make sure that passwords are strong enough to prevent hacking. She explains that most baby monitors come with preset usernames and passwords that may be accessible through a simple Google search, and that changing the default settings to custom network names and passwords helps prevent hacking.
Flannigan also suggests regularly updating software on baby monitors to stay up-to-date on the latest security upgrades.
