Do you know why?
Because smart home devices often have weak security and provide access to your personal life and network!
Here's how they exploit them:
π Many devices have default passwords that are never changed, making them easy targets.
π‘ They can access your home network through vulnerable devices and move laterally to other systems.
π€ Smart speakers and cameras can be hacked to eavesdrop on conversations and activities.
π Smart locks can be compromised to gain physical access to your home.
π± They can control your devices remotely to create false alarms or manipulate your environment.
πΎ They can steal personal data stored on or transmitted through these devices.
π They can use your devices as part of botnets for larger attacks on other targets.
π They can impersonate your devices to send fake notifications or commands.
If you have smart home devices::
β© Change default passwords immediately after installation.
β© Keep firmware updated on all smart devices.
β© Use strong, unique passwords for each device.
β© Consider creating a separate network for these devices.
β© Regularly review device permissions and access logs.
π¨ Stay vigilant and secure your smart home!
