Baby cameras and monitors are usually used to help parents keep track of their children in different rooms. But for this Taiwanese family, it seems to have turned into a cyber-nightmare.
According to Sin Chew Daily, a Taiwanese family has shared their experience of their baby’s camera getting hacked.
The camera that they bought was a rotating baby camera and it can be controlled with an app that they needed to install in their phones.
“The scariest thing happened to us on July 23,” the netizen said.
“When the camera was on, my mother heard a man’s voice calling my daughter’s name. My mother who was sleeping with my child thought it was just my father who was calling my daughter,” she added.
After a while the man’s voice appeared again, her mother then got up to go check on the father as they were sleeping in a separate room.
“When she went and checked on my father, it turns out that he was already sleeping, then she heard the man’s voice calling out to our daughter again,” she said.
The lady also said “My mother was so terrified that she immediately turned the camera off and unplugged it, immediately telling me about what happened.”
As of now, they’re unsure how the camera got hacked and how long has the man been watching their daughter.
They’ve stopped using the camera ever since and is urging the public to be careful if they have installed any baby cameras in their children’s rooms.
