Cheap security cameras could be leaving your home exposed to hackers and snoopers.
We found critical security flaws on six wireless cameras, despite all of them having thousands of apparently positive reviews and earning a coveted “Amazon’s Choice” recommendation.
One security flaw included strangers being able to remotely take control of the camera to spy into homes. When reading through the comments on Amazon reviews, one father said he had chills down his spine after hearing a mysterious voice coming from a camera next to his child’s crib after it was apparently hacked.
