It’s that time of year! Family meals and festive desserts. Smart gadgets promise to make cooking easier, but are they safe? David Rogers tells us what we need to know to stay cybersafe in the kitchen.
Thanks to the pandemic, a lot of us have been at home and cooking more than ever and with the holidays coming up, the heat is on. Wouldn’t it be great to streamline Thanksgiving prep? Imagine the freedom to go out for a hike with breakfast baking in the oven if it’s done halfway through your walk, just remotely turn the temp down to warm so it’s toasty ready when you get back. Running late getting the table set when you see a guest turning in the driveway? Just ask your friendly voice assistant to turn on the microwave to warm the spinach dip.
Count us in! But not if it means a risk to family safety. Join us as David Rogers explains what consumers can do to help keep themselves safe in the kitchen and eases our concerns about what attackers can and can’t do to interfere with smart cooking devices.
