Hackers claim to be Santa Claus, harassing girls

According to CNN, the hacker attacked Ring's security camera system, claimed to be Santa Claus, and encouraged Alyssa LeMay, an 8-year-old girl, to destroy furniture in the room. This has brought horror to a family in Mississippi.

Asley LeMay, her mother, said that because of her night shift, her family installed security cameras to keep an eye on her daughter. But after just four days of installing the system, the attack happened when both she and her husband were at home.

Security video showed that Alyssa was alone in her room when the speaker on the security camera played the song Tiptoe through the Tulips (background music of the horror movie Insidious) which made her extremely scared.

When Alyssa asked "Who is that?". A voice from a strange man rang, claiming to be Santa Claus and wanting to make friends with Alyssa, "I am Santa Claus. Don't you want to be my best friend?".

Feedback on CNN, Ring said that the attack was done by hackers who took advantage of the weak password of the family. According to Ring, users often use the same username and password as other accounts making the security device vulnerable.

A spokesman for Ring recommends that users of its security systems should enable two-step authentication on their Ring accounts to ensure safety.

Asley LeMay said the equipment installed in her home has not enabled two-step authentication.

Security camera attacks are booming in the US, with at least 3 attacks targeting Ring's security equipment within a week.

On the morning of December 11, a man in Nebraska state immediately disabled the device after hearing his daughter chatting with a strange voice through the Ring camera installed in the kitchen. The same day, a woman in the state of Atlanta was also awakened by the voice of a strange man while she was sleeping in the bedroom. Hackers have said: 'Wake up! I can see you lying on the bed. "

On December 8, a couple in Florida was continually subjected to racist comments via Ring cameras. The scary thing is, this hacker also revealed that he was silently following them for days.

Ring denied any allegations related to the data breach after each attack and blamed the user for stealing login information or using weak passwords.

Security experts recommend that families using security camera systems should enable two-step authentication if any and change the password for higher security.
