Hackers are making robot vacuums randomly yell racial slurs
Briefly

The recent hacking incidents involving the Ecovacs Deebot X2s illustrate significant security vulnerabilities, allowing hackers to control devices and verbally abuse victims with no prior interaction.
Victims like lawyer Daniel Swenson reported that hackers gained live control of his vacuum, leading to unsettling experiences, including broadcasts of racial slurs directed at his family.
As the security flaw allows bypassing the four-digit PIN, numerous cases in Minnesota, Los Angeles, and El Paso raise concerns about the extent of undetected hacks.
The attacks have highlighted a critical security oversight that not only permits access to the devices but has far-reaching implications for privacy and home safety.
