A mother has been left deeply disturbed after hearing an ‘eerie male voice’ coming through her baby monitor.

The mother shared her concerns in a panicked post on Facebook and issued a stern warning to all parents who use a screen connected to Wi-Fi.

‘We heard a creepy male voice over our baby monitor talking to our baby. My heart sank and I felt sick to my stomach,’ she wrote.

‘When I was researching baby monitors I knew hacking was a possibility but didn’t realize it would happen to us!!’

The woman said she decided to voice her concerns on social media for two reasons.

First, she wanted to make sure all other moms are aware that Wi-Fi baby monitors can be hacked.

‘Please make sure to strengthen your password, enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) and have a WIFI password. Or if you’re going to be a mother or thinking of buying a WIFI screen, think again!’ wrote the woman.

According to essential baby equipmentvirtually any baby monitor can be hacked, but the type of monitor used can determine how difficult or easy it is to do so.

For example, a Wi-Fi baby monitor without a password will be much easier to hack into compared to one with a strong password and two-factor authentication.

The woman then pleaded for help, saying: ‘I feel so anxious and can hardly get any sleep thinking about it. How can I overcome it?’

Other parts of the Facebook community offered their support to the stressed mother.

‘Omg that’s my biggest fear. That’s why (maybe I’m paranoid) I don’t have the camera facing the baby – it’s under the cot and I just keep the noise on like the old days,’ one woman commented.

Important Baby Gear states that screens will be less at risk if parents ensure their Wi-Fi network is secure and to ‘limit the broadcast of the video feed outside your own private network’ as much as possible.

How Hackers Can Access Baby Monitors

Consumer magazine ‘Which?’ warned that about 3.5 million Internet-connected security cameras in the country were at risk of being hacked even if users had changed the password after researchers tested a number of devices two years ago.

Although such incidents are rare, it comes after another young family feared they may have been spied on in their own home for weeks after their 15-month-old boy was woken in the night after hearing a ‘deep male voice’ , who they believe is a man who has access to their crib’s camera.

Shannon Richardson, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, says her son Freddie had inexplicably woken every night at around 2am in December and refused to go back to sleep, leaving her and partner Jack Gray confused.

Any product connected to the Internet without proper security can be hacked by anyone, including a baby monitor.

Hackers will scour the web for unsecured cameras before exploiting them.

The most common way is to access a home’s wifi router through which the devices work. If these are not password protected, then they are easy to infiltrate.
