Hello
I
am just watching This Morning, re the danger of smart devices. They have said,
switch your device off at the wall, or your device can record what you are
saying, they had a video of a child in her room on her own with the TV on
standby, a man hacked through, and was talking to the little girl, and telling
her that he was her new best friend, the rest you can imagine, I don’t mean to
scare you, but this is scary, while he was talking to her, she was being
watched by him, this happened because, the guy, had used the default password,
that the device came with, and so could easily hack into her room, via her TV.
Make
sure you change the default password on your devices, and change it on a
regular basis.
The companies that sell these products, can
listen in to what you are saying, and pass this information onto different
companies, without your consent, if you leave your smart device on all the time,
the way to stop this is to switch it off at the wall.
The ring door bell, is a great security door
bell, to have, to keep an eye on your property.
Make
sure, you download their software
updates on a regular basis, to keep them secure.
Smart
TVs
They have cameras, make sure your device is
updated with the software, it could have issues. Cover up the camera, to make
it safer.
Baby
monitors
Don’t have it switched on, unless you need to.
Your
router
Make
sure, you change the default password that it came with.
The
hive thermostat
The company may pass your information onto 3rd
parties, without your permission.
Aleska
and similar
They
are listening to you all the time, but only wake up, when you mention their
name, when not in use, unplug it from the wall. Some of the recordings are
listened to buy Amazon etc, and
transcribed.
You
can switch this off, via the settings. You can delete all that they have.
To
watch this piece, it was on ITV 1 at around 12.15 today. (10th March 2020)
I
hope this helps.
