"Calls to 911 and Nest confirmed there was no danger. Instead, a Nest supervisor explained to the family they were probably victims of a “third-party hack,” granting someone access to their cameras and its speakers through a compromised password.

Google, which owns Nest, told the Mercury News that Nest was not breached.

“These recent reports are based on customers using compromised passwords (exposed through breaches on other websites).

The firm said it is “actively introducing features” that will reject compromised passwords, allow customers to monitor access to their accounts and track external entities that abuse credentials."
