Yeah, sadly, people care about convenience and not security. So you get things like this: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/04/ring-agrees-to-pay-5-6-million-after-cameras-were-used-to-spy-on-customers https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/04/ring-agrees-t... and somehow they are still in business, and popular. If you do care about security, keeping your home-automation within your own control is probably the only sane path. Homeassistant and similar open source things like openhab are pretty good if a bit fiddly, and a wireguard vpn like tailscale a fairly practical way to access it when away from home.

> If you do care about security, keeping your home-automation within your own control is probably the only sane path. It is also very expensive, so only a minority of informed users would select such a route. Not to mention that it is not trivial to setup. To my knowledge the only company that has decent security practises is Ubiquiti. What the article describes is actually fairly standard in the IoT industry. I'm surprised there have been so few lawsuits.
