Make 'smart' devices hack-proof, says Govt

摘要

Manufacturers of 'smart home' devices have been given Government advice on how to make their gadgets safe from attack by hackers, as fears grow about how vulnerable they are. Ministers working with experts at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have drawn up a voluntary code of practice to cover gadgets that aren't computing devices, but still require an internet connection. Often called the 'Internet of Things', such devices include smart TVs, doorbells, smartwatches, security cameras, toys and burglar alarms. There are expected to be 420 million in use in the UK by 2021.
