Now a smart lightbulb system got hacked

That shiny new smart light bulb that can be turned on and off with Alexa and change colors with the Google Assistant could be vulnerable to a hack. Security researchers from Check Point tested the Philips Hue models, the most popular smart lights brand, and says it successfully hacked into a home's computer network. It went to Philips to show its findings and says Philips has now fixed the issue, but Yaniv Balmas, Head of Cyber Research at Check Point Research says consumers of off-brand lights may not be as lucky. Amazon lists many brands in its smart light offerings, including Philips, Wyze, Teckin and Berennis. Oh no:Amazon's Ring security shares your personal data with Facebook and Google, report says Balmas warns that the same protocol flaw found in the Hue bulbs is also used by other popular devices, including the Amazon Echo speakers and Belkin's WEMO.
