I doubt it - but "secure" is a very broad term without context. Without knowing the type of data being sent, and whether the overall collection over time could be insecure, you also have the underlying operating environment. Most sensors utilize a version of linux, Bluetooth low energy, or wi-fi, all of which have security risks. Also, if you have any accessible ports [usb, network] they are prone to physical attacks. Hope it helps.
- seizethecheese 10y agoThank you. There are no ports. There's only a serial bootloader, but in operation there's nothing plugged in. The device does connect to the internet via WiFi, but only once every 12 hours for about 3 seconds and then it shuts down.
- czbond 10y agoThat is definitely a very low security risk footprint then; especially if it's an outbound request (eg: outbound GET / POST, etc). No physical ports of anytype (BLE, USB, etc) also makes it a very low risk. So you're ahead of easily 99.999% of all sensors
