Man Stalks Child through Baby Monitor Video

After an Indianapolis couple forgot to change a factory pre-set username and password on their baby monitoring system, a hacker was able to access the device’s video camera with relative ease.

The Denmans were using the system to keep an eye on their two-year-old daughter.

On Wednesday, the child was playing at home with her mother when, suddenly, music started coming from the baby monitor. The song that was playing: “Every Breath You Take” by The Police.

Jared Denman said, “He started doing sexual noises on the camera.”

An online search for families similarly victimized led to the discovery of several videos with the same song playing over the speakers. The likely culprit also has a Twitter account with messages bragging about the breaches.

“It agitated me a lot because who is to know if those people are even aware that the videos have been posted online.  We kind of felt violated and we didn’t feel secure in our own home,” Denman said.
