How to Protect My Smart Home From Getting Hacked
Change the Default Pin Code
If you have a Smart TV or Device, the default PIN code is probably 0000 or something similar. Change it!
Keep Smart Devices on a Separate WiFi Network
Setup a WiFi network just for your Smart Devices, so in case your TV was hacked they can’t connect to your computer.
Disable Streaming Services You are Not Using
If you are using Fire TV or other streaming solutions, then turn off Wifi on your TV because you won’t be using it.
Make Sure All Your Devices are Updated Regularly
If automatic updates are available for software, hardware, and operating systems, turn them on.
Don't Reuse the Same Password on all Devices
Choose a complex password for each device and make it unique.
Turn On Two-Factor Authentication
A code will be sent to your phone whenever anyone attempts to log in.
Don't Place Smart Devices with Cameras in Bedrooms
Or anywhere you feel uncomfortable in case they get hacked.
