FBI warns hackers can use smart home devices to 'do a virtual drive-by of your digital life'

Smart home devices are designed to make our lives easier, but they also make it easier for hackers to infiltrate our lives. The FBI has sent out a warning that'hackers can use those innocent devices to do a virtual drive-by of your digital life.' The US intelligence agency urges users to regularly change passwords, check for firmware updates and never have two devices on the same network. Digital assistants, smart watches, fitness trackers, home security devices, thermostats, refrigerators, and even light bulbs are all on the list of devices that can be infiltrated by cybercriminals. And if these devices, among other smart home technology, are not properly protected, they can be used by hackers to'do a virtual drive-by of your digital life.' Samsung are developing an interactive kitchen that includes a fridge, oven and TV.
