After a cyberattack: Ecovacs vacuum robots allow unauthorized camera access and more

In the U.S., there has been an increasing number of incidents where hacked vacuum robots are being remotely controlled. These robots have reportedly shouted insults and transmitted images via their built-in cameras.
Around the same time, multiple reports of similar incidents surfaced across the U.S. In one case, a vacuum chased a dog in Los Angeles while shouting hate speech, according to ABC. Another report from El Paso involved a Deebot insulting its owner with racist remarks late at night until it was unplugged.
