YOUR HOME ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES WATCHING YOU BECONFIRM

General


1. Our lives seem to revolve around the internet. So it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that we attempt to connect as many aspects of our lives to the web as possible. The concept is simple. If we connect everything in our house to the Internet, from home appliances and lighting systems to door locks and climate controls, we will be able to control all of them remotely, making our lives easier. Many people have expressed genuine concerns over how secure these automated living spaces actually are. These are concerns you should definitely consider as you prepare to turn your home into an interconnected domain.


Smart Home


2. Smart homes are often looked at as the wave of the future but the proliferation of the tech should always come with a word of caution. People who adopt smart home tech need to know about some of the biggest sy concerns revolving around not only their appliances but the central hub for controlling these gadgets: the smartphone.


Your TV Watching You


3. Samsung TVs eavesdropping on their owners. If you have one of their Internet connected smart TVs, you can turn on a voice command feature that saves you the trouble of finding the remote, pushing buttons and scrolling through menus. But making that feature work requires the TV to listen to everything you say. And what you say isn't just processed by the TV; it may be forwarded over the Internet for remote processing. 


4. Smart TVs are certainly a convenient device, but if hackers gain entry to it, you could be in for a world of trouble. Many smart TVs come with a camera. Cyber attackers who hack the device can then use that camera to spy on you and your family, even if you don’t have the television on. Due to a general lack of security standards, some hackers can even lock you out of your TV entirely and ask that you pay some kind of ransom just to have access to it again.

5. TVs may track what you watch. Some LG TVs were found to spy on not only what channels were being watched but even transmitted back to LG the names of files on USB drives connected to the TV. Hackers have also demonstrated that they can hack some models of Samsung TVs and use them as vehicles to capture data from networks to which they are attached and even watch whatever the cameras built in to the TV see.


Your Phone and Computer Watching You


6. Our smartphones and computers, of course, listen to us when we're making audio and video calls. But the microphones are always there and there are ways a hacker, government, or clever company can turn those microphones on without our knowledge. Sometimes we turn them on ourselves. Even if you don't speak, your computers are paying attention. Gmail "listens" to everything you write and shows you advertising based on it. It might feel as if you're never alone. Socail Media does the same with everything you write on that platform and even listens to the things you type but don't post. The Internet of Things is full of listeners. Newer cars contain computers that record speed, steering wheel position, pedal pressure, even tire pressure and insurance companies want to listen. And, of course, your cell phone records your precise location at all times you have it on and possibly even when you turn it off. 


Your Kitchen Appliances


7. Many recent-generation kitchen appliances come equipped with connectivity that allows for great convenience, but this benefit comes at a price – potential spying and security risks. Information about when you wake up in the morning (as extrapolated from data on your Internet-connected coffee maker) and your shopping habits (as determined by information garnered from your smart fridge) can help robbers target your home. Furthermore, potential vulnerabilities have been reported in smart kitchen devices for quite some time, and less than a month ago a smart refrigerator was found to have been used by hackers in a malicious email attack. 


Your DVR/Cable Box/Satellite TV Receiver


8. Providers of television programming can easily track what you are watching or recording, and can leverage that information to target advertisements more efficiently. Depending on service agreements, providers could potentially even sell this type of information to others, and, of course, they are likely to furnish this information to the government if so instructed.


Your Modem (and Internet Service Provider)


9. If it wanted to, or was asked by the government to do so, your ISP could easily compile a list of Internet sites with which you have communicated. Even if the providers themselves declined to spy as such, it may be possible for some of their technical employees to do so. Worse yet, since people often subscribe to Internet service from the same providers as they do television service, a single party may know a lot more about you then you might think.


Your Webcam or Home Security Cameras


10. On that note, malware installed on your computer may take control of the machine’s webcam and record you – by taking photos or video – when you think the camera is off. Miss Teen USA was allegedly blackmailed by a hacker who took control of her laptop’s webcam and photographed her naked when she thought the camera was not on. Likewise, malware on computers or hackers operating on those machines could potentially intercept transmissions from security cameras attached to the same network as the devices (some cameras transmit data unencrypted), and copy such videos for their own systems. 


Your Telephone


11. Of course, phone companies also track phone calls as they need call information for their billing systems. So, even if you use an old, analog phone, your calls may be tracked. If you are receiving phone service from the same provider as you get your Internet and/or television service, phone records are yet another element of information that a single party knows about you.


Your Lights, Home Entertainment System, and Home Alarm System


12. Various newer lighting, home entertainment, and home security systems can be controlled via Wi-Fi or even across the Internet. Remote control is a great convenience, but it also raises questions as to whether information is reported to outside parties. Does your alarm provider get notified every time you come and go? Is information about your choice of audio entertainment relayed to manufacturers of the equipment on which it is played or the supplier of the music? Could hackers gather information from smart lighting, entertainment, or security devices – or the networks on which they communicate – to determine patterns of when you are home, when you are likely to have company over, and when your house is empty?


Your Thermostat (Heat and/or Air Conditioning)


13. Various Internet connected thermostats are now available. They provide great convenience, but might they also be transmitting information about your preferences to others? Google’s acquisition of Nest has raised interest in this issue – but Nest is not the only provider of such technology. There are even products distributed by utilities that raise concerns. 


Your Laundry Equipment


14. Like kitchen appliances, washers and dryers that connect to the Internet may report information that users may not realize is being shared, and that if intercepted, or misused, could help criminals identify when you are home and when you are not.


Your Medical Devices


15. It is not news that pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other medical devices can be hacked. But even normal functioning devices may spy on you. Various pacemakers relay patient status information over the Internet – this may be valuable in some cases, but also creates risks. Could unauthorized parties obtain information from such data in transmit? What if a criminal sent out phony “pacemaker impersonating” messages stating that a patient is in distress in order to have his physician instruct him to go to the hospital – and leave his home vulnerable?


Your iPod or Other Entertainment Devices


16. Yes, there are still millions of people using specialized non-phone-equipped electronic devices, but these devices are often Wi-Fi enabled and pose similar to risks to smartphones as discussed above. Of course if you are reading books or magazines, watching videos, or listening to audio supplied by an online provider, your choices and preferences are likely being tracked.


Privacy Concern


17. This discovery surprised people, but it shouldn't have. The things around us are increasingly computerized, and increasingly connected to the Internet. And most of them are listening. New privacy concerns aren’t limited to smart TVs and phones. Seemingly innocent everyday items are also presenting new threats to our personal privacy.


18. Vendors may attempt to address some of the aforementioned concerns, but many of the issues are sure to remain for quite some time. So, if you want to take advantage of the benefits of connectivity and smart devices, keep in mind the privacy risks and act accordingly.
