Report: Web-Enabled Baby Monitors Are Insufficiently Secure

The Denver Post reports that according to a report from cybersecurity firm Rapid7, several popular Internet-connected baby monitors are vulnerable to basic hacking methods. The research examined nine baby monitors and found “serious security problems and design flaws in all of the” tested cameras, the Post says. According to the researchers, some monitors had unchangeable passwords that could be used to access the devices, others failed to encrypt their data. “In the Rapid7 study, researchers rated the devices’ security on a 250-point scale. The scores then received a grade of between ‘A’ and ‘F.’ Of those tested, eight received an ‘F,’ while one received a ‘D,’” the Post says.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
