Your living room’s smart bulbs aren’t just illuminating your space—they’re potentially recording your every move, conversation, and daily routine through hidden surveillance mechanisms that most homeowners never discover. Recent cybersecurity research reveals that 78% of smart bulb users unknowingly expose themselves to covert monitoring through devices they assumed were simply energy-efficient lighting solutions.
This isn’t science fiction paranoia. It’s the reality of modern IoT devices that embed sophisticated surveillance capabilities while masquerading as innocent household items.

Use low power radio like ZigBee or Z-Wave, exclusively, unless you have a good reason to trust the device.

That's cool, that's cool. I bet with some kind of neural link we'll be able to bump that up to 200%

What kind of AI written nonsense is this. No sources to back up their claims. Made up percentages that seem way too specific. Obviously bad IoT devices can do bad things but claims like these require something to back them up.

But it can't be wrong, it's confirming my preconceptions!!

OP, the site you're linking to is LLM slop. Like seriously just look at this site for a second.
- There's zero consistent theme.
- The images are generated.
- They're all "BY JOHN" (no pfp, no last name, no bio, let alone no indication why they're qualified to write about this cornucopia of shit).
- It only ever hyperlinks to itself – i.e. the sources may as well be "I made it the fuck up".
- The way the articles are structured is LLM slop to a tee – randomly bolding words, meandering prose, overuse of bullet points, jarring logical flow, etc.
- At least five articles per day from the same "person" despite extensive length, perfect grammar, and alleged research being done.
Can't you please link to an actual source to make this claim?

Wouldn't someone have noticed all the traffic on the network? And if the conversations were processed locally, wouldn't someone notice the energy and cooling needs of the processor in the bulb, not to mention the presence of a load of memory? This seems very implausible.

Also from this fine media establishment:
- Warning: 73% of garden soil contains hidden drain chemicals affecting families for 18 months
- I tried this 2-ingredient summer mask at 53 and my dark spots faded 70% in 3 weeks (dermatologists explain why)
- Cold plunge warning: this 15-second exposure raises senior blood pressure by 40 mmHg
Also, for a writer named "John," he seems to really like wearing women's clothing
And I don't know where he finds the time to get dressed considering he's written 18 articles so far today some in just 14 minutes.

Worked at a debt collector. Storing voice calls took many TBs of storage. This is for a few mins of convo. I can only imagine the storage space for general recording of millions. Where are these massive storage centers? This is pure bullshit.

Absolute horseshit. Bulbs don't have microphones. If they did, any junior security hacker could sniff out the traffic and post about it for cred.
The article quickly pivots to TP-Link and other devices exposing certificates. That has nothing to do with surveillance and everything to do with incompetent programming. Then it swings over to Matter and makes a bunch of incorrect assertion I don't even care to correct. Also, all the links are to articles on the same site, every single one of which is easily refutable crap.
Yes, there are privacy tradeoffs with connected devices, but this article is nothing but hot clickbait garbage.
