🤔 Who has smart gadgets in their home or office? In this week's Review of the Week, Matthew Jones shares some surprising news: hackers have been hijacking smart vacuums to shout obscenities and even scope out homes. As wild as it sounds, it’s a reminder that any internet-connected device can be a risk if not secured. From light bulbs to fridges, these “smart” devices can be entry points for hackers. Matt’s advice? Go for reputable brands, change those default passwords, and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
