Remotely view the situation at home, use sound instead of remote control to control home appliances, connect various devices to each other, and automatically adjust the working status... For a long time, people have dreamed of living in such a house. In recent years, the development of the Internet of Things and smart home has made such an illusion gradually become a reality.
According to data released by Gartner, a US research and consulting firm, by 2016, a total of 339.1 million connected devices were put into use in the “smart home†field, nearly double the number in 2015. But when you enjoy the services that smart devices bring, you can't ignore a very important issue: security and privacy.
Please note: When you are talking about topics that contain personal or other sensitive information, they are also collected as data and transmitted to third parties.
This is the sentence that an online magazine found in the Samsung SmartTV Privacy Regulations in February this year. Its discovery caused a stir in social networks, and a user on Twitter even compared this passage with a fragment from the novel "1984", suggesting that it violates user privacy.
After this incident was exposed, Samsung quickly revised the relevant regulations. The relevant content that is now seen on the official website is this:
Samsung collects your interactive voice commands only when you ask SmartTV to do a specific search command. To complete this command you need to press the remote control or the start button of the screen and speak into the microphone of the remote control. ...you can stop the "voice recognition" data collection at any time in Settings, but this may affect the use of some speech recognition features.
In 2013, a user who used LG Smart TV found that his viewing habits were actually collected, provided that he had turned off the related functions.
Later, LG made a related fix, but after a few months it released a revised privacy policy (still in use), which wrote: "In order to get all the services of smart TV, you must agree with us. Privacy regulations allow your LG Smart TV and our system to exchange more information." Can such a tough attitude make people watch TV quietly?
This year, Synack Security's experts surveyed 16 home automation devices, including cameras, home automation controllers, and thermostats. But the results were disappointing, and they found that almost every device was very vulnerable to intrusion. The reason is that many people have not modified the original password and encrypted the data.
By exploiting the vulnerabilities of these devices, intruders can collect a variety of information about their targets, understand their behaviors and habits, and threaten their privacy and security.
In addition, there are foreign technology articles that mention that there is now an advanced tracking technology that allows TV commercials to receive high-frequency sounds (humans can't hear) by sending out some smart phones, laptops, or microphones that are turned on. Track your online behavior on your device.
However, the world in which all things will eventually connect is not terrible. It is just asking people to have a new way of looking at the world and the knowledge of using smart devices correctly. Perhaps in the future, knowing how to protect and use personal data will become as important as literacy. However, before this, the company's "do not do evil" and perfect laws are particularly important.
Residual Current Circuit Breaker
RCCB named Residual Current Circuit Breaker. When there is human electricity shock or if the leakage current of the line exceeds the prescribed value, Residual current circuit breaker/RCCB(without over-current protection) will cut off the power rapidly to protect human safety and prevent the accident due to the current leakage. The rccb switch which made from Korlen electric can be used as infrequent changeover of the line in normal situation.
Korlen electric ---- the rccb switch manufacturer,produces types of Residual Current Circuit Breaker. It is applicable to industrial site, commercial site, tall building and civil house.
