Hackers who prey on home-based businesses can find their way into your business world using property you might not be protecting. Your home office gear like a printer, phone or even your home security system, may betray you and let a hacker in! All these devices have embedded computers and so do your car and smart home device." Tech and gadget expert Steve Greenberg says, “They can access information you have stored on devices other than your computer.They can hack into your printer and then move on to your laptop and begin finding all the passwords you have been using. All of these auxiliary things are all portals where hackers can get into your life.””
His advice? “Make sure the equipment you buy is from a trusted brand. They tend to be more protected. And keep your security software up to date."
