The Chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission has offered stern warnings regarding privacy in relation to the Internet of Things in her opening remarks at CES 2015, reports SC Magazine.
Edith Ramirez stated that with an estimated 25 billion connected devices in 2015, people may need to watch out for ‘smart home hacking’ and other privacy issues. “Connected devices that provide increased convenience and improve health services are also collecting, transmitting, storing and often sharing vast amounts of consumer data, some of it highly personal, thereby creating a number of privacy risks,” Ramirez stated.
