Experts discover serious threats in smart devices in homes

Security experts have found serious threats in smart devices used in the home. Researchers at Kaspersky Lab discovered that an app-controlled coffeemaker could expose the homeowner’s WiFi password. Outsiders are apparently capable of controlling a baby video monitor by hacking the camera owner’s network, and a magnet was found to disrupt a smartphone-controlled home security system. Residents are advised to look up the vulnerabilities of a device before purchasing it.
