Recently, at the Def Con Security Conference, a top global security conference, two security technology experts pointed out that Ecovacs's sweeping robots, lawn mowing robots and other products have multiple security vulnerabilities, including that hackers can invade and remotely control the devices through Bluetooth, read the room map information saved by the devices, and access the camera, microphone and other functions in the operating system. In response, Ecovacs said that the above attacks require many special prerequisites and these attack methods are not replicable. Therefore, the probability of attacks occurring in daily life is very low, and even if they occur, the degree of infringement on user privacy is not great.

With the widespread application of 5G technology, the interconnection of all things has become possible. Smart home appliances have emerged based on the Internet of Things and are very popular in China. According to IDC statistics, the shipment volume of smart home equipment in my country will exceed 260 million units in 2022, and it is expected to exceed 500 million units by 2026. One of the foundations for smart home appliances to achieve intelligence and convenience is information collection technology. Through the collection of information on user usage habits, the surrounding environment and its changes by sensor devices, and the exchange of information between devices, smart home appliances can better understand and learn user habits, thereby providing more accurate services.

However, once this information is read or stored excessively, it will become a sword that pierces the privacy of users. In addition to biometric information such as voice, fingerprints, and faces, real-time positioning, home environment, and various passwords are more related to the personal safety and property safety of users. Excessive acquisition of this information can easily cause people to feel disgusted and panic.
