In the modern age, convenience is everything. The newest revolution in the convenience era is the introduction of smart appliances, controlled by a central system.
Similar to smart heating and smart lighting in the home, smart appliances would mean controlling your washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and more from the comfort of your phone, or with your voice.
Hotpoint and Amazon Alexa have been working together in recent years to collaborate over the first smart appliances. There are even rumours that the fridges could contain technology which orders milk when you run out.
All this convenience is a step forward in some people’s eyes, but what about your security?
Studies are suggesting that adding more and more appliances to your central system could lead to vulnerabilities and potential access to your sensitive information by criminals – including your card details, passwords and more.
The question remains – is the comfort of convenience really worth the risk of insecurity?
