Somebody’s watching: Hackers breach home security cameras in US | via nytimes
Ashley LeMay and Dylan Blakeley recently installed a Ring security camera in the bedroom of their 3 daughters, giving the Mississippi parents an extra set of eyes — but not the ones that they had bargained for.
There have been at least 3 similar cases reported this month — the others were in Connecticut, Florida and Georgia. Other breaches, involving Google’s Nest and Taococo, a baby monitor sold on Amazon, have also drawn scrutiny and prompted concerns about privacy.“She won’t even sleep in her room,” LeMay said Saturday. “She actually spent the night with a friend the other night because she didn’t want to be here.
“Our security team has investigated this incident and we have no evidence of an unauthorized intrusion or compromise of Ring’s systems or network,” the statement said. “Recently, we were made aware of an incident where malicious actors obtained some Ring users’ account credentials from a separate, external, non-Ring service and reused them to log in to some Ring accounts.”
A spokesman for the Jackson, Mississippi, field office of the FBI said he could not confirm or deny that the episode was being investigated. The Southaven police chief, Macon Moore, said Monday that the case was under investigation but would not comment further because the investigation was active. He also said that police had not received other reports.
In Cape Coral, Florida, Josefine Brown told NBC 2 that she was frightened by an episode in which a hacker could be heard in footage from a Ring security camera provided to the station asking the interracial couple if their son was a “baboon.”
