    Lots of reasons. But primarily to force you to download an app that hoovers up your data, sells it to advertisers, and serves you ads at the same time, all while holding your expensive appliances hostage behind a monthly subscription that they can raise at any time. So, primarily, to fuck you.

        I don’t understand. I think you have a spelling or grammar error in there but not sure where.

        Do you mean hijacking? If so, any IOT device controlled via a webservice is very susceptible to lackluster security at the manufacturer level. If anyone is within signal range of your device, they can also hija it.

        Do you mean being harmed in any way by the manufacturer? They are using the devices to collect and sell any and all possible data they can collect about you.
