Share Carefully
You just need to teach your kids to not to share everything over these IoT products. Just check, whether your baby girl’s IoT robot uploading her voice recordings? Whether your smart refrigerator lets your manufacturer learn about your eating patterns. No doubt, the more you share on these IoT products, the easier your life will become. However, at the same, sharing too much means making your privacy vulnerable.
So, only share things that you would like the world to know about.
Password Protection
Do not forget to change the default password – the admin/admin ones. If you have purchased something that is not letting you change the default passwords, it is better to replace it. Always choose a complex password instead of an easier one.
Software or Firmware Upgrades
These firmware updates are very important as they are mostly about security patches, bugs, and virus/trojan threats. Do not consider these updates useless. Spending some internet data and time on these upgrades can ensure privacy protection.
Protect Your Camera
Therefore, if you are using these gadgets, it is better to cover your camera until they are not in use. You can buy camera covers from any online eCommerce store. Alternatively, you can use a sticky note or some duct tape to cover them up.
Protect Your IoT Wearables
These IoT smartwatches are perfect transmitters of information, and they can transmit your private information stored over your mobile to anyone who is “listening.” Through these wearables, hackers can track your routine movements.
