Chinese robot vacuum may leak user data

A Chinese-made robot vacuum reportedly began broadcasting weather reports and news in Mandarin, raising concerns about potential data breaches and privacy violations. The incident prompted worries about data security, with users fearing their personal information could be compromised. The brand attributed the issue to the voice assistant misinterpreting background noise and assured customers of their privacy protection, citing compliance with EU regulations. Experts suggest that the devices' reliance on cloud servers for data processing could lead to information leaks. They recommend disconnecting the device from the network if a breach is suspected to mitigate the risk of data theft.
