Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums
Summary
Popular Science reports a security flaw in DJI Romo robot vacuums that could expose live video feeds, audio, and maps for thousands of devices. The issue arose from mismanaged access tokens that let the owner’s device control extend to about 7,000 robots across 24 countries; DJI patched the vulnerability after disclosure, highlighting broader smart-home security risks and the potential for AI-assisted tooling to facilitate exploitation.
