Eavesdropping in the kitchen
No joke: Air Fryers from China are spying on us!
It is well known that smart home devices with Wi-Fi and a cell phone app sometimes collect more data and send it to their "mother ships" than expected. Consumer protection experts are now showing that the problem is even more widespread than you might think. Even hot air fryers now serve as bugs.
