> If what you learn by probing it allows you to breach the security of other people using the same service, then that is threatening

What is threatening is that the company that sells baby monitors and keeps video recordings of your family members being naked has zero accountability for their security and almost no chance of being caught if they misuse it.

That does suck and we should do something about that. Accountability could be part of the legal framework.

Trying to gain access to those video recordings by exploiting the device is still threatening too.
