    Wait, this situation is way worse than what’s on the headline. These things (ecovac robot vaccums) have remotely accessible cameras? What in the Heebie Jeebus?

    He opened the vacuum’s app to find a stranger was accessing its live camera feed and remote control feature, but assumed it might be an error.

      Yeah so we were visiting friends in Germany and the father was all proud to show us how he surveiled the (young adult) children and their friends with the vacuum camera while they were out.

      Needless to say that was super creepy and for sure we thought our room might be ‘bugged’ so we didn’t talk about it until we were (far, far) away.
