Honestly, are we surprised?
Probably a good PSA for people buying any number of cheap electronics (And hey, these days even most “top” brands), but a lot of these things have poor/no security, or are actively designed to take information.
I’ve had a lot of mates grab cheap IOT devices, electric vacuums, security cameras, you name it, only to find out it was actively working against them too. That’s why I only trust cans on strings for my communication.
I’m sure our data is perfectly safe with every company off shoring half their workforce too.
People are surprised that the cheap electronics they buy are cheap for a reason. Slow clap for them.
No idea why any regular person needs to wear these creepy glasses anyway.
On no, the people who have cheap perve glasses may have data stolen. My heart bleeds.
The eSafety commissioner leaving personal data exposed much more than cheap glasses.
Cheap crap is cheap and crappy.
So do most businesses apparently. Almost every week sees another data breach.
It’s laughable at this point to be authenticated by providing name, address, dob and mobile number. Every man and his dog has access to this info now, due to so many breaches.
Why does this read like a negative, when we are catching peverts data? ‘,:/
