[Global Science and Technology Comprehensive Report] According to the report of the British "Daily Mail" on June 9, experts said that they must be vigilant for the Internet of Things (IoT). At least 40% of Australian households now have IoT devices—networked refrigerators, curtains, locks, and so on. Although these devices will improve people’s daily life efficiency, the use of IoT devices will also face hacker attacks, information disclosure, etc. risk. So what risks will the IoT devices bring?
Data map
(1) Internet of Things devices can snoop on the privacy of you and your child.
Many Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers and suppliers do not place much emphasis on user privacy, and some even use user privacy for profit. Recently, consumer electronics company Vizio agreed to pay $2.2 million to US regulators because the company monitors users' television viewing habits without the user's consent.
(2) Many Internet of Things devices are vulnerable to hacking.
These security holes will allow users to suffer losses in the real world and the virtual world. The recent brutal attacks on Internet company Dyn and security researcher Brian Krebs have largely come from hacked IoT devices. In addition, the hacked IoT device itself is also very dangerous. In 2015, Fiat Chrysler Motor Company recalled 1.4 million cars because the security researchers proved that they can remotely invade the smart car system and control the brakes, steering and transmission.
(3) Even if you buy IoT devices, these devices never really belong to you.
Most IoT devices have embedded software installed. Without it, the device will not function properly. The software may impede users from repairing, modifying, or reselling their equipment through conditions imposed by the license agreement. This can be said to be anti-competitive because individual users are effectively "locked" to a brand and a supplier.
(4) IoT devices know your weaknesses.
We know that smart phone embedded technology can be used to detect user's mood, stress, personality, etc., but some IoT devices can collect more intimate and personalized data, and then use this data to build consumption, so as to gain insight into consumers. Even predict their behavior. Retailers are currently using the technology to track consumer purchase records and sentiments, and send customized SMS messages to consumers.
(5) It is almost impossible for you to know what difficulties you are in, or how long it will last.
Many IoT products are a complex combination of software, hardware, and services and are often provided by multiple vendors. When problems arise, it may be difficult to figure out which vendor can best solve the problem. Consumers face huge risks from IoT devices, from predatory use of data to security breaches and devices that are no longer supported. Even if you know and trust your suppliers, they may not always exist. When they do not exist, the services that are vital to the operation of the equipment may also disappear.
(6) You cannot be protected by law.
Many IoT devices put consumer privacy at risk, but the relevant laws are incomplete because the definition of “personal information†is very narrow.
Therefore, be careful when using internet devices. (Internship compilation: Jiang Shi reviewer: Li Zongze)
