You already know that it is very important to use the Internet safely, so that you do not expose yourself to dangers when using your computer and smartphone. It should be noted that the so‑called intelligent devices operate on principles specified by the manufacturer. The user has no influence where or in which cloud the information collected by the device is stored. Unfortunately, with the development of IoT, hackers are also becoming more and more interested in our data. Not only smart homes are exposed to attacks, but above all companies related to the industry.
