Baby monitors can be security threat

Published

on

Hackers can and do hack into baby monitors using them to play loud music, sounds, or just watch your baby in your house, according to Makeuseof.com.

The key is password security on both your home network and the monitor itself.

Make sure your home network doesn’t use the router’s default password. Set up a secure, memorable password.

Buy a baby monitor that allows you to change the password and then do it. All it takes is a search of the internet to find the default passwords for baby monitors.
