The rise of smart homes powered by Internet of Things (IoT) devices has made daily life more convenient and efficient. Devices like smart thermostats, security cameras, smart locks, voice assistants (e.g., Alexa, Google Home), and smart lights are now common in many households. While these technologies offer comfort and automation, they also come with significant security risks. Many IoT devices have weak passwords, lack encryption, or do not receive regular software updates, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Hackers can exploit these weaknesses to steal personal data, invade privacy, or even gain physical access to homes. This abstract highlights the growing need for better IoT security practices, such as strong passwords, firmware updates, and secure network configurations, to protect smart homes from evolving digital threats.
