Study Shows How Burglars Could Hack Smart Sprinkler to Disable Alarm
A new study by computer scientists at William & Mary shows how burglars could potentially break into houses through smart home devices.
William & Mary computer scientists Adwait Nadkarni and Denys Poshyvanyk tested the security of a number of smart home products and found many significant vulnerabilities. Some vulnerabilities were serious enough, Poshyvanyk said, they may require smart home platforms, such as Google’s NEST, to rethink the way devices interact in the home.
