Home is supposed to be the most private and safe place possible. Installing a whole house intelligence, the picture is convenient and comfortable, who would have thought, but installed a "time bomb"? On September 27, a blogger in Heilongjiang broke the news that he spent 40,000 yuan to install the whole house intelligence, which was remotely controlled by the installer! This can't help but make people think about it carefully: smart home, is it the gospel of convenient life, or the nightmare of privacy and security?
It's not complicated. This blogger happily installed the whole house intelligent system, looking forward to a better life of intelligence in the future. It turned out that the installer could remotely log in to the system and control various smart devices at home. It's like you have a stealth camera in your house, but the control is in someone else's hands! I feel a chill down my back just thinking about it.
This incident exploded on the Internet, and netizens expressed concern. Someone joked: "Do I also have to check whether my smart toilet has also been manipulated?" Jokes are jokes, but the safety risks reflected behind this cannot be ignored. The popularity of smart homes has also brought new security challenges.
Technology is a double-edged sword. Whole-house intelligence is indeed convenient, but it also gives criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it. If the smart home system has vulnerabilities and is hacked, the consequences are unimaginable. Just imagine, everything in your home is controlled remotely, what privacy is there in your life?
To put it bluntly, this matter has hit the pain point of the smart home industry. The standards are not perfect, the supervision is not in place, and it is simply a "three regardless" zone. Some businesses only care about making money, and the security issues are completely left behind, the product is full of loopholes, and user privacy is like "running naked". What's even more speechless is that many consumers also lack safety awareness, blindly pursuing high-tech, but ignoring safety risks, which is like "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon".
This reminds me of a science fiction movie I watched before, in which human life is completely controlled by intelligent systems, and there is no freedom at all. Although the movie is fictional, in reality, if we don't pay attention to the security of smart homes, such a scenario is not completely impossible.
To be honest, smart home is the future trend, and no one can stop it. But that doesn't mean security and privacy can be sacrificed. Enterprises have to have a little conscience, improve the safety performance, and don't patronize to make money. Relevant departments must also strengthen supervision, formulate industry standards, and protect the rights and interests of our people. We also have to have a long snack, don't be dazzled by the word "smart", choose regular products, do a good job of safety protection, this is the right way!
Technology should make human life better, not become a new shackle. Smart home, is it "smart" or "mentally retarded"? This is a question worth pondering.
