In order to understand what people are doing to protect themselves from the risk of compromised smart home devices, such as internet-connected TVs, smart thermostats, home assistants and more, ESET polled 4,000 consumers. Key findings include: Over a third of all respondents indicated they are concerned about unauthorized access of their home networks via connected home devices (smart TVs, smart thermostats etc.). 35% of Americans and 37% of Canadians indicated so in our survey. When purchasing a smart home device, most Americans and Canadians do not evaluate the data the manufacturer collects or know where it is stored or with whom it is shared. Only 20% of American respondents and 29% of Canadian respondents indicated they do any of this type of research before purchasing a device.
