Smart homes filled with our data, increasingly vulnerable

[Shishirgano9]

Amazon, Google, IBM, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook have all launched their Health initiatives, based on unlimited access to our data, and which may quickly lead us to the situation described by George Hotz , the famous jailbreaker of the iPhone and Playstation. “ One day we will have a computer model of everyone's behavior, and no one will be able to believe in free will anymore .”



With the democratization of connected tools now within everyone's reach, from taiyuan mobile number database watches to homes and soon cars, we are also becoming more and more vulnerable. Demonstration made with Gary Kasparov , chess champion beaten by an intelligent machine in 1994, and Vladislav Iluishin, a Czech hacker, who explain in a few minutes how we can enter a connected home by using light bulbs, smart speakers and IP cameras that happily broadcast the data needed to open our doors. Another “ethical hacker” (he worked for HSBC and Barclays).

Rob Hope demonstrates how to hack blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Scenarios almost as catastrophic as the one described by Amy Webb who imagines our connected toaster taking power by refusing to feed us because the smart watch has just transmitted an increase in weight (70% probability). How far do we want to connect our fridge, and is it really a good idea to let Alexa take the place of parents in raising children?
