According to studies, smart home owners tend to ignore the risk associated with their products and focus mainly on the benefits that they provide. I myself am included in this category. When purchasing my smart home products, I did not think twice about how I was putting my information security at risk. Instead, I focused on all the cool benefits that came with it. This is not uncommon. As hackers and malicious content get only smarter with time, it is pertinent that consumers know what risk truly comes with their products. Best thing we can do is to stay educated and understand why it is we ignore the risk.
