Shark vacuum robots have an unpatched flaw that could let attackers access cameras, WiFi passwords, and home maps, researcher claims.

Researcher Tokay0 says SharkNinja failed to fix the issue more than 90 days after private disclosure.

The flaw involves AWS IoT certificates, with 673,000 exposed SharkNinja devices observed in one AWS region.

    Eufy has offline models like the G, L, and X series which come with a remote that you can do 100% of that from, no wifi needed.

      Does it let you paint a square in your map layout to not mop there? Or split an incorrectly merged room into two? Or select specific rooms to do more often? I’m sure the remote is great for basic use though, but there’s a lot you can’t do with it

        When you get to that point, you really need to just hire someone and quit fucking around with shitty wifi enabled products.

        Edit: Being less obtuse, if you really need such a niche feature, at least block it from having Internet access and restrict it to your LAN as there is sincerely zero reason that cannot be labelled as laziness for needing Internet access on a home appliance.
