A smart home is a convenience that more households enjoy every year. Unfortunately, that convenience also brings with it brand new dangers.

Virtually every smart home device is accessible via the internet. This is meant to give you, the homeowner, the convenience of monitoring and controlling your home. Unfortunately, it opens new doors to your home for hackers.

If you have any doubts about whether your smart home can actually be hacked by someone, remember that many smart homes have already been hacked.

At first glance, it may not seem like a big deal whether someone has access to your smart home devices. After all, they are merely a convenience for homeowners.
