How robotic vacuums can spy on you

Post by The Kaptain »

Since the first model hit the market in the 2000s, robotic vacuum cleaners have advanced rapidly. They can swiftly clean every corner without much bumping around, and the latest versions are close to defeating their long-time nemeses: cables and shoelaces.

They comes with a price, though, and we are not talking only about money. To deal with obstacles, modern robot vacuums are equipped with sensors, GPS or even cameras! Using powerful tools to collect your dust, your smart vacuum also gathers something else – your personal data. 

Cases like the leaked pictures of a woman sitting on toilet raise questions about how much your robot vacuum knows about you and – more importantly – what it is sending to someone else.
:shock:
