  1. Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 #robotvacuums
    Sammy Azdoufal wanted to steer his #DJI Romo with a controller. Building his app, he used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how robot communicated with DJI’s cloud. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other #vacuums across 24 countries.

  2. Man Accidentally Gains Control of 7,000 #Robot #Vacuums

    discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see & control his own device also provided access to live #camera feeds, #microphone audio, maps, & status data from nearly 7K other vacuums across 24 countries. The backend #security bug effectively exposed an army of internet-connected #robots that, in the wrong hands, could be turned into #surveillance tools, all without their owners ever knowing

  3. 🤖 I’ve given this a few hours of serious thought…

    If I was Sammy Azdoufal… I would absolutely not report the giant security hole.

    For six months, I’d just whisper 😱“pssssst… psssst…” through vacuum cleaner mics worldwide. Then, for the next six months, an occasional soft bark 🐶 or gentle meow 🐈‍⬛.

    Nothing dramatic, just thousands of people questioning their pets, their homes… and their sanity.

    For science, obviously….

  4. Day My Smart Vacuum Turned Against Me

    Would you allow a stranger to drive #camera-equipped computer around your living room?

    It started innocently enough. I had recently bought an #iLife A11 smart vacuum: a sleek & technologically advanced robot promising effortless cleaning, intelligent navigation

    As an engineer, I was fascinated by its workings. After leaving it to operate for the entire year, my curiosity got the better of me

  5. Can anyone recommend a good spot rug shampooer? Ideally something that allows me to clean the nozzle and the intake since it tends to accumulate a lot of hair and gets clogged after a while. Thanks!

  6. "To create a sense of moral desirability for something as mundane as a vacuum cleaner is, whether you like it or not, tremendously clever; it’s a highly effective way to extrapolate personal household cleanliness into a much broader global concern about environmental purity." —Alexis Ong visits Dyson for The Verge
