🦔A researcher pulled a live camera feed, a home floor plan, and the Wi-Fi password in plain text from a Shark robot vacuum he didn't own. One security certificate unlocked every other Shark vacuum. He listened to Shark's system for 24 hours, counted 1.5 million vacuums checking in, and 673,000 responded to a command he sent. He told Shark in March. They promised a fix by July 10. No patch, no response, so he published. My Take Your vacuum cleaner is now a bigger security risk than your front door. Someone with basic hardware skills can pull your Wi-Fi password, watch your camera, and download the layout of your home, and the company that sold it to you knew for four months and couldn't be bothered to fix it. Every week there's a new device on the list. LG monitors, Flock cameras, smart TVs, now vacuums. I'm running out of appliances. The reason none of this gets fixed is because there's no consequence. A car manufacturer would face a mandatory recall. Shark faces a Reddit thread. Until connected devices are held to the same product safety standards as everything else people bring into their homes, companies will keep shipping cameras and microphones with barely any investment in security. If you own a Shark vacuum with a camera, unplug it tonight. That's the only fix available right now because Shark hasn't provided one. Hedgie🤗
