The FBI has warned that “hackers can use those innocent devices to do a virtual drive-by of your digital life.” The issue is the smart digital technologies encroaching into all aspects of our lives: “Unsecured devices can allow hackers a path into your router, giving the bad guy access to everything else on your home network that you thought was secure. Are private pictures and passwords safely stored on your computer? Don’t be so sure.” The FBI suggests that to secure home networks, “your fridge and your laptop should not be on the same network—keep private, sensitive data on a separate system from your other IoT devices,” Forbes reported.
