I am not a proponent of smart home devices such as Google’s Nest or Amazon’s Alexa. I suspect that part of my reluctance to install these devices is the numerous potential security problems to which such systems can be susceptible.
I will admit to a certain amount of paranoia; but I really don’t think that putting a smart device that listens to voices and conversations in my home is a great idea. Every day I read on the internet about different security problems that such systems can pose.
