Wireless video cameras represent an affordable way to keep an eye on your home. Yet they have their own security weaknesses. Indeed, we have all heard stories about hackers tormenting homeowners by gaining access to their cameras for the express purpose of taunting them. And now another problem has popped up: hacking video cameras for the purposes of swatting.
The FBI recently began warning homeowners about swatting via smart home devices. They say that perpetrators are hacking wireless video cameras and speaker-enabled devices, then instigating swatting incidents so that they can stream live video or communicate with law enforcement on site. It is an illegal practice that can be dangerous and, in some cases, deadly.
