Regarding smart products, if Baidu's words, it is estimated that one day will come.

As the interconnection between cloud and cloud goes deeper, these intelligent scenarios will be closer and closer to us. Next, we will face the issue of privacy and security.
American Wired magazine once published an article on the hidden dangers of smart home security. There is a description of this, and perhaps the future will become a reality: 'At four o'clock in the morning, I was awakened by the sound of bass sounded out of pillows. ...I never listened to Beth. Actually, this whole music category was put on the list of banned broadcasts. You see, my family is infected with viruses.
In fact, this kind of scenario has already happened in real life. The remotely controllable camera has come into many people's homes and becomes an important tool to care for pets or security. However, this convenient and inexpensive camera will also bring some Unexpected trouble. For example, CCTV once exposed that it only costed less than two hundred bucks to buy a scan app that could easily crack the user's home IP address and invade the smart camera for remote control. This is a matter of personal privacy. It is a great violation.
In addition to the camera, other smart home devices also have security risks.
Two years ago, the White Hat hacker had discovered a security vulnerability in a smart refrigerator that was used to steal accounts by intercepting the content of the communication between the refrigerator and the user's Google Calendar.

According to the 2017 Internet Security Report, 2017 saw a large number of large-scale DDoS attacks initiated in 2017 that used a large number of IoT devices in homes and workplaces to generate security vulnerabilities. Will continue. Not only that, professional cybercriminals may also use the ever-growing expensive connected home devices in the future to attack more targets.

There is a remark on the Internet that can cause everyone to think. 'You can say that I am old-fashioned, rather than let a stranger can easily open my door, I would rather go out and consider the uncertainty and inconvenience of those living.'
In this era of the Internet, we have to admit that everybody is streaking. We can't waste food, we can hinder the development of technology for safety, and we can't overlook the safety of technology development. The ancients said it well: If you do not seek a global plan, you will not be able to seek for a moment. If you do not seek a global plan, you will not be able to find a domain. 'Without the convenience of privacy and security, it is only the Internet's drinking and quenching the thirst. ' For the entire industry, how to grasp this balance is worth it. Think carefully.
