The Internet of Things refers to a vast network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity to connect and exchange data over the Internet. For example, smart home systems allow us to control lighting, heating, and security remotely; trackers provide real-time health data and personalized recommendations.
The concern is that this data is unauthorized access, misuse, or sale to third parties’ knowledge or consent. Malicious hackers use vulnerabilities in IoT devices to gain access to networks’ personal information. Additionally, some companies may use the data collected by IoT devices for targeted advertising or sell it to data brokers, further compromising our privacy.
Potential threats to your data
- Data breaches- This occurs when unauthorized individuals gain access to sensitive or confidential data. It happens through hacking, malware, or even physical theft of personal information devices. Data breaches expose personal details, financial data, and passwords, leading to identity theft and economic loss.
- Unsecured connections- Public Wi-Fi and unsecured connections leave your data vulnerable to interception. Hackers exploit these networks to access your device and steal sensitive information, including login credentials and personal messages.
- Tracking and surveillance- Your online activities, including browsing history, location data, and messaging content, are tracked and monitored by third parties, including advertisers, data brokers, and government agencies. This information is often used for targeted advertising or sold to the highest bidder.
