We built the Internet of Things. Hackers built the Internet of Targets. As more everyday devices connect to the internet, every new connection creates another potential vulnerability—and another system somebody has to protect.
We did not slowly lose privacy.
We traded it away one convenience at a time.
From smart homes to AI assistants, society accepted massive surveillance, dependency, and security tradeoffs in exchange for frictionless living.
We rushed to connect everything before we built a culture of digital skepticism, cybersecurity, or accountability. Now consumers are discovering the hidden risks of AI-powered smart devices.
