How many of you have Alexa, Google or Siri in your home?
Probably many of you…
Well, did you know that these smart speakers were designed without security in mind and connecting them to your home network could be like inviting a criminal right to your front door.
IT'S TERRIFYING !
But since smart speakers are here to stay, here are 5 ways YOU can be safer using your smart speakers.
Set up a secondary wireless network on your home router and use it only for your home automation devices. This keeps it separate from your computer and phone.
Disable purchase orders. Do you really need this convenience anyway?
Enable voice recognition so the speaker responds only to YOUR voice.
Delete your recordings – “Alexa, delete what I said today”
Do not connect security devices such as door locks or alarms.
