What Do Americans Fear Most About Smart Home Tech? Survey Says …

A quarter of Americans aren’t concerned with being monitored online by criminals.

You’ve probably heard horror stories of criminals hacking into your computer or security cameras, so it makes sense that people are concerned about that.

But ASecureLife.com found that around a quarter of Americans weren’t worried about being monitored online by criminals. Even when 23% of American households had someone victimized by cybercriminals in 2018, according to Gallup.

What’s more is that in 2017, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 300,000 complaints that amounted to more than $1.4 billion in monetary losses for victims.

So cyber crime is definitely a valid concern that all internet users and smart home consumers should look out for.
