Are you among the numerous people that like having access to the latest smart home devices? If so, you could be leaving your smartphone, tablet, and computer all at risk of hacking. Many types of smart home devices are built with convenience in mind but not necessarily security.
From smart refrigerators to televisions and voice activated assistants, there are many devices you could have around your home that are not secure. Many of these devices are “always on” and “always connected” to the internet over your home wireless network.
Even if you have taken the time to password protect and secure your wireless router, it does not mean a hacker could bypass this entirely by accessing connected smart home devices. Research has been conducted on voice activated assistants where signals could be transmitted to an unsecure device using “white noise.”
