Between Alexa, Google, Siri, and the millions of compatible devices on the market today, chances are very good that you own at least one smart home (or at least smart home capable) device. They come in all shapes and sizes. They can control the temperature of your home. They can alert you to potential intruders. They can tell you the contents of your refrigerator and automatically re-order them. With all of this convenience, is there any possibility that your privacy and security have been compromised?
Many people are concerned about that. However, it’s becoming more and more difficult to find appliances that are not smart home capable. To maintain your privacy and security, it’s important to know what settings are available on your appliances to keep them safe, and use those settings. It may also be a good idea to only purchase smart home products from reputable brands.
