iBaby monitor vulnerable to hacking
Summary
A baby monitor called the iBaby Monitor M6S that allows parents to keep an eye on their children through the use of a video camera and their phone is vulnerable to hacking, researchers from Bitdefender found. Working with PCMag, researchers discovered vulnerabilities in the device that could allow attackers to access your saved pics or videos, view live video and grab your personal information. The findings highlight the security issues that could come with using a baby monitor, raising concerns about whether companies like iBaby are doing enough to spot these problems before the device is released to parents. The researchers alerted iBaby of the security issues and gave them 90 days to fix these problems, but the company reportedly never responded. The company also plans to release an update for software that is embedded in the baby monitor.
