Sammy Azdoufal, aiming to control his DJI Romo vacuum with a PS5 gamepad, unintentionally accessed around 7,000 robot vacuums globally, allowing him to view live feeds and map their locations. He demonstrated that he could pull detailed data from these devices without hacking, exploiting a vulnerability in DJI’s server protocols. After reporting the issue, DJI quickly secured the vulnerabilities, but concerns remain about the security of its devices. This incident raises critical questions about data privacy and the implications of having cameras and microphones on household appliances.
