It Spreads: Hacking Baby Monitors Creepy New Trend
‘The camera then turned and looked at me and started screaming’
WND
Heather and Adam Schreck were asleep in their Cincinnati-area home at about midnight when they heard the voice of a man coming from the room of their 10-month-old daughter, Emma.
The shocked father didn’t find the man in the room, but the man’s voice could be heard through the family’s Internet baby monitor, which has a speaker and a camera that can be controlled online.
Adam Schreck recalled his moment of horror in an ABC News “Good Morning, America” report.
“The voice was screaming, ‘Wake up, baby; wake up, baby.’”
Then, in a scene reminiscent of the macabre TV classic “The Twilight Zone,” the man who had obviously hacked into the Schreck’s system began moving the camera.
“The camera then turned and looked at me and it started screaming some obscenities at me,” Adam Schreck said.
Heather Schreck told “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning the whole experience “was terrifying.”
She said her husband then unplugged the camera.
“And then we just had to console Emma, who was terrified,” she said.
The Schrecks’ experience is not unique.
Among the many reports over the past several years, a man hacked into a Houston family’s Web-connected baby monitor last August to call a 2-year-old a “little slut.”
When Marc Gilbert and his wife Lauren entered the room, the voice cursed them as well, reported ABC News.
The couple said the creepy voice had a British or European accent.
As he and his wife got closer to the room, they heard the voice calling his daughter an “effing moron” and telling her, “Wake up you little slut.”
