Convenient TVs and Washing Machines, But Growing Hacking Risks for 'AI Homes'

These days, home appliances from refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines to curtains and air purifiers are all connected to the internet.

While these AI homes are convenient, the risks of hacking are also growing along with them.

Because they are connected via the internet, they can serve as pathways for external intrusion.

In particular, if the security network of a single device is breached, it can affect other devices because they are connected to the same network.

In fact, a few days ago in France, refrigerators at 700 supermarkets were hit by a cyberattack, causing temperatures to soar up to 80 degrees Celsius (176°F).

Domestically last year, about 120,000 IP cameras were hacked, and their footage was traded on illegal overseas websites.

There are now calls for related security standards to be strengthened.
