At the PrivacyCon event held by the Federal Trade Commission last week in Washington, D.C., the FTC warned that several brands of baby monitors lack basic security features like complex passwords and data encryption, making the transmission of data through connected baby monitors more susceptible to hackers. While the FTC did not reveal the brands of baby monitors it tested, Bureau of Consumer Protection attorney Seena Gressin said, "It may be time to update an old lullaby with a new stanza: "Hush little baby, don't say a word, unless your Wi-Fi baby monitor is well-secured."
