Connected smart plugs can give hackers access to a user's entire home network, as well as their email account, according to security researchers. Bitdefender researchers Dragos Gavrilut, Radu Basaraba, and George Cabau said that one device has weak default passwords and doesn't use encryption. The device also doesn't have a system in place to encourage users with security risks to change their passwords.
