Mom horrified after stranger hacks into son\u2019s baby monitor and talks to him TIKTOK: kurinadeleA mom went viral on TikTok after claiming that someone hacked into her child\u2019s Owlet baby monitor and started talking to him during the night. In a viral video with 6.1 million views, TikToker Kurin (kurinadele) said she was putting her son back to bed when she realized the monitoring camera in his room was unplugged. She then asked her husband to plug it back in, but their child begged them not to. \u201cMy son starts crying and he\u2019s like, \u2018I don\u2019t want my camera plugged in, I don\u2019t want my camera plugged in, someone talks to me at night and it scares me. Someone wakes me up and talks to me and I\u2019m scared, I don\u2019t want my camera plugged in,’\u201d she recalled. Kurin\u2019s son then told them that the stranger talking to him through the Owlet camera claimed to be his parents, leaving them \u201ccompletely terrified.\u201d The TikToker and her husband then tried to change the password for their cameras, but a notification stating that the password appeared in a data leak popped up. Kurina said that they had never received any kind of notification from Owlet about information being exposed. \u201cWho the heck knows how long someone has had our password and has been messing with my son?\u201d she said in the video. The mom also shared that she\u2019d be replacing her Owlet camera with a different type of baby monitoring camera that does not use Wi-Fi. In the comments, many TikTok users said they\u2019ve had similar security issues with their Wi-Fi based monitors. \u201cThis same thing happened with our Owlet camera. I was walking past my sons room and I heard someone telling him to \u2018calm down buddy.. it\u2019s ok,’\u201d one person wrote. \u201cThis happened to us! My son would cry about monsters! Needless to say both of ours went in the trash\u201d another added. \u201cOne night we heard loud growling. I thought it was cats fighting outside, but it was someone on my 2 year-old\u2019s camera. Horrifying!\u201d a third shared. For more entertainment news and other viral stories, head over to check out our coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
