Family claims hacker taking control of cable box, sending threats

A family claims they are being terrorized by their cable box. For more than a week, personal and harassing messages are showing up on their TVs.

Meeks said it started more than a week ago — “he” or someone has taken control of her AT&T cable box and typing messages on two of her TVs.

The family showed us a few. One wrote: ‘ISEEYOUHAHA’. Others even threatened to hurt Alana’s 9-year-old granddaughter, Aniya.

“He wants to do more than hurt her,” said Meeks. “He wants to have sex with her. Pervert.”

Some were quick to judge. However, an officer who stopped by saw it himself, according to a police report.

FOX59 cameras were rolling when it happened again. Whoever was typing knew we were there, too.

Sick is right, but I have always heard that the technology exists, where people can peer at you through your TV set, and you would never know it. I wonder if there really is something to that?

Had a great aunt who refused to watch Ed Sullivan without her hair and makeup done. Didn't want him seeing her looking like a mess. Is this what you mean?

Not at all. I have just heard rumors that government agents or other nefarious people, wait, I just repeated myself, are able to peer into your house through your TV set. I don't know if it is true, I just hear rumors.

Can’t really envision how that would be possible short of the monitor having a built-in camera.
