Minnesota family discovers breach of their nanny cam stream

An unnamed family living in Rochester, Minnesota discovered that the nanny cam they were using to keep an eye on their baby had been hacked, and the footage was being streamed online to a private channel. The incident was brought to light by KTTC, NBC's local network.

The family said that they kept seeing random things that were happening in their child's room. The parents of the child would be able to hear music coming from the camera, but as soon as they stepped in the room, the sound would stop coming.

After investigasting into the matter, the family found a URL attached with the IP address of the device. Upon following the URL, the family discovered a website displaying feeds from various hacked nanny cams. The hackers are not only able to see the feeds, but they can also physically control the device.

This is not the first time that a vulnerability has been found in Foscam's system. The company has its set of guidelines for implementing security measures and asks users to change the default password.
