Smart-home hacking is a problem, and its just going to get worse, says Jerry Irvine, a member of the National Cyber Security Task Force. It could be a guy sitting in a car parked in your driveway, and he turns off your alarm, and then he goes into your house and robs you. Or it can be downright orneriness, like causing a toilet to be continuously flushed, Irvine says. But the real risks are the hackers who gain access to your devices, because if they can get into your thermostat, refrigerator and smart TV and begin listening on your network, then they can begin finding your usernames and passwords, and they can get to your financial information. Its scary.
