| Out of curiosity, why is viewing nursery footage seen as serious? Should it be patched, sure. I see it as different than some random IOT device in the crib, this is at the nursery itself. Why are parents given access to particular feeds at a nursery? Why does it matter that they can watch other kids at a nursery if you’re already giving this access? Yeah I get that now ANYONE can watch them too, ooh scary men in trench coats and top hats watching children. I’m missing something about the wording of this: “The issues with NurseryCam are about as serious as it gets.” Is it though? |
As a parent you are your child's guardian, which generally means that it is your responsibility to protect your child. I would assume most people would try to protect themselves against having their surveillance footage accessed by unauthorized parties and so this parent (the author) is trying to achieve this for their children.
I personally can imagine scenarios where for the purposes of social engineering it is advantageous for a malicious actor to get access to the footage of your child's nursery to, for example, study when your child is generally there or when you pick them up or who picks them up.
