Amid easing tensions over the conflict in the Middle East, the focus will remain on the outlook for when the Federal Reserve may begin to ease policy rates
"My heart was racing. I felt so violated at that point," Samantha was quoted as saying.
The couple had installed a Google Nest system (camera, doorbell and thermostat) in their house in 2018.
On September 17, Samantha came home and found that the thermostat had been turned up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Google Nest system generally offers thermostat, cameras, doorbell, alarm system, lock and smoke + CO alarm.
"It gives me the chills just talking about it," said Samantha.
The Milwaukee couple are not alone.
In January, a hacker took over an Illinois-based Indian-American couple's Nest cameras and began talking to their toddler.
"I was shocked to hear a deep, manly voice talking. My blood ran cold," Arjun Sud told WBBM-TV. The hacker also hurled obscenities at Sud and his wife.
Sud disconnected the cameras and contacted Nest which told him to use two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
A California-based family also had a chilling experience when someone used their Nest camera's speaker to warn of an impending missile strike from North Korea.
A Google spokesperson told FOX6 News: "Nest was not breached. These reports are based on customers using compromised passwords (exposed through breaches on other websites). In nearly all cases, two-factor verification eliminates this type of security risk".
