'Wake Up Baby!': The Chilling Words A Couple Heard In The Middle Of The Night From A Man Who Had Hacked Their Daughter's Baby Monitor And Was Watching Her Sleep

An Ohio couple awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of a man screaming 'wake up baby!', quickly realizing a hacker had hijacked the wirless baby monitor in their daughter's room and was watching the little girl sleep.

Heather and Adam Schreck say they feel 'violated' after the midnight encounter, only worsened by the fact they have no way of working out who the online intruder was.

The Cincinnatti couple had stirred during the night, thinking they heard a voice.

Heather then checked on their 10-month-old, Emma, by looking at her cellphone , which streams the camera feed from the monitor that sits above the baby's crib.

Heather saw that the camera was moving erratically, when it is only meant to move if following the child or someone else walking about the room.

I'll bet the NSA employees were flabbergasted by this one.

Wow - how on earth did I ever raise children without streaming video? Get rid of all the silly-ass gadgets and you won't open yourself up to this kind of nonsense. And the weirdo that did this needs to be carefully monitored...
