Keeping your smart devices safe from hackers
Every device connected to the internet, from cameras to smart plugs, can be a way in for someone with bad intentions if it is not properly secured. The good news is that a few simple habits greatly reduce the risk. The first is to change default passwords on every device and app as soon as it is installed.
Use a strong, unique password for your Wi-Fi and enable two-step verification on your security apps where available. Keep device firmware and apps updated, as updates often fix security weaknesses. Consider a separate guest network for visitors and smart gadgets. We set these protections up as part of every installation we do.
