The smart speaker or video surveillance system you got as a holiday gift could lead to security issues down the line according to a Sturgeon Bay business. Security researchers recently uncovered issues with smart speakers where software can be downloaded to allow hackers to eavesdrop on users or ask for passwords. An ABC News report says the makers of the popular Ring video cameras are being sued for having inadequate cybersecurity that has allowed hackers to access an owner’s Wi-Fi system. Quantum PC owner Nathan Drager says there are some technical steps you can take to ward off hackers.

Drager advises users to also have two-factor authentication for your log-in so you are notified when someone is trying to access your device or network.
