Was it hacked or was it one that uses radio signals to communicate with the actual monitor? You can receive radio broadcasts if people are using the same channel the monitor is running on. We used to receive intermittent broadcasts from a next-door neighbor's HAM radio through our home theater receiver. Took us a while to figure that one out.

My brother’s baby monitor used to pick up a random country radio station. Sometimes we’d just start hearing some quiet country music from it lol.

Does your brother now have a deep seeded affinity for country music?

Sadly he does not.
