Hackers taking over poorly secured cameras and baby monitors

TL;DR Some manufacturers of web cams and baby monitors have you log in with a sequential unit number and a default password making it easy for hackers to log into random people's web cams.

If your smart home camera, pet and baby monitor involve installing the Yoosee app, then you're most likely affected by this issue, and your device might be easily taken over by nosey hackers.
To stay protected, security researchers advise owners of such devices to use the YooSee app and change the device's default password, as the app allows this from its interface, right after adding a new device.

You mean not changing the generic password isn't a good idea?

Finding out and using a default password isn’t hacking.

The metaphor would be an elite safe cracker opening up a planet fitness locker.

Soon contractors won’t be able to install cameras manufactured in China on government sites b/c of this .
