A robot vacuum just exposed 7,000 homes across 24 countries, and nobody got hacked. One guy with a PS5 controller stumbled into live camera feeds, floor plans, microphone audio, and device locations for complete strangers. All of it wide open.
This is a DJI RoMo story, but it's really a story about what happens when a capable company moves too fast into unfamiliar territory. The flaw wasn't exotic. It was a basic permission error that encryption couldn't fix.
I break down exactly what went wrong, why "encrypted" doesn't mean "safe," and what you need to start asking before you put another connected device in your home or office.
