Another software vulnerability LG sweeping robot can even monitor users

Robot vacuum cleaners manufactured by LG will do other things in addition to cleaning. If it is controlled by an unscrupulous person, it will become a remote spy machine because LG has a loophole in the mobile app developed for the vacuum cleaner. The security company Check Point found a loophole and it also used loopholes to control the LG Hom-Bot robot. On Amazon's website, the Hom-Bot costs $805.10. The vacuum cleaner has a built-in video camera that was originally designed to ensure safety.
The problem has come. LG developed the SmartThinQ application for vacuum cleaners. Customers can use smart phones to remotely control smart appliances. Now SmartThinQ applications have loopholes. These appliances include refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers. It sounds convenient, but because of a flaw, Check Point can blacklist into the customer's SmartThinQ account and hijack all devices. Check Point said in the report: "Users should take care of security and privacy risks when using LG IoT devices."
Software vulnerabilities are hidden in the SmartThinQ login process and Check Point security researchers can log in to the system as other users. Check Point calls this vulnerability the "HomeHack". It believes the problem is very serious and has a huge impact. It is reported that Hom-Bot has sold more than 1 million units.
LG is ready to release a patch to solve this problem. LG smart home appliances users will soon be able to upgrade SmartThinQ App to the latest version, download new programs through Google Play, Apple App Store. In addition, customers also need to upgrade their software on home appliances and upgrade them through the SmatThinQ App. LG said in a statement that it is working with Check Point to conduct product security checks. LG also said: "LG will continue to enhance its software security system and will work together with Check Point's network security solution providers."
