Daycare Webcam Service Exposes 12,000 User Accounts

NurseryCam, a webcam service used across 40 daycare centers in the U.K. by parents who want to keep a watchful eye on their babies, has shut down following a data breach. The breach exposed the personal data of about 12,000 users to an attacker who said he or she was trying to improve the service s security. The attacker was able to get real names, usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords for 12,00 accounts and dump them online. The company said it doesn’t believe anyone watched the webcam without permission.
