Until there is a good way to secure and update those devices, no one should use them. "In Deloitte's new 2017 Global Mobile Consumer Survey, the company notes that "connected home systems—a category that includes home security, thermostats, and lighting—continue to lag behind other connected devices such as entertainment systems and connected vehicles," which the report attributes to "concerns about security and privacy." The survey found "more than 40 percent of respondents agree that smart home technology reveals too much about their personal lives and nearly 40 percent worry that usage can be tracked. In addition, less than one in five consumers believe they are very well informed about the security risks associated with connected home devices; and nearly 40 percent believe they are not properly informed at all." This may be the best news about the IoT ever published."
