Out of a list of things that can be hacked, you might put smartphones, laptops -- even televisions and cars on that list. But as for baby monitors -- you might not think twice.
Rapid7 researchers have found a slew of new vulnerabilities in nine modern and widely available baby monitors, which they say highlights the risks in the rapid expansion in similar internet-connected devices.
Affected devices
Gyonii (GCW-1010)
iBaby (M3S)
iBaby (M6)
Lens (LL-BC01W)
Philips (B120/37)
Summer (28630)
TRENDnet (TV-IP743SIC)
WiFiBaby (WFB2015)
Withing (WBP01)
By connecting to Wi-Fi, these so-called Internet of Things (IoT) devices allow access from wherever the owner is in the world, but on the other hand a single vulnerability that's successfully exploited can give a hacker the same access. The trouble is these devices are often so poorly secured, it takes little effort for a hacker to gain access.
