Forbes, for example, just published a story by Kashmir Hill about a man named Marc Gilbert who woke up on the night of his 34th birthday to hear a sound coming from his 2-year-old daughter’s bed room.

Gilbert says he heard a man saying to his daughter: “Wake up, you little slut.”
Awful.
The voice was coming through her Internet-connected baby monitor.
Hill says the hacker probably found the baby monitor through a search engine called Shodan, which indexes the “Internet of Things” the way Google indexes the regular Internet.
