Merry Christmas, Your New Air Fryer Is Spying on You
As the holiday season wraps up and the sound of wrapping paper and carols fades away, many of us are left with a new gadget or two under the tree. But as we rush to unwrap our gifts, it’s worth remembering that some devices might be watching more than just your cooking habits.
A recent report from Gizmodo has revealed that several smart home appliances have been found to collect and transmit sensitive data back to their manufacturers. This includes, but is not limited to, personal information, health metrics, and even household layout.
In the case of a certain air fryer brand, it was discovered that the device sent data about cooking times and temperatures back to its servers, raising concerns about the potential use of this information by third-party companies or malicious actors.
