Ecovacs

Shark's cloud-connected robot vacuums have an unpatched AWS IoT policy flaw allowing a compromised device to access other devices in the same region, exposing cameras, home maps, and Wi-Fi passwords stored in plaintext. A researcher demonstrated that stolen AWS IoT certificates can remotely command other vacuums, with over 44% of observed devices in one region responding to remote commands.

Ecovacs has launched the Deebot X12 OmniCyclone, a new robovac that uses AI and cameras to detect dried stains and pretreat them with water and cleaning solution. The $1,499 robot includes an OMNI Station dock and is available on Ecovacs' website and Amazon.
