You won't believe how easy it is for criminals to hack into these common devices. Even if you think you're well protected, there always seems to be a loophole. Find out how to protect yourself.

1 – Wallets

These days, many credit cards, passports, and driver’s licenses also come with embedded radio frequency chips.

The idea is to let people transmit data wirelessly, but if someone has a RFID reader, they can activate the card and gain access to this data.

Luckily, RFID-blockers are available to provide extra security from this threat.

2 – Garage Doors

Hackers can record the signal sent from your garage remote to the controller.

Once recorded, this signal may be enough to open the door even when you aren’t home.

3 – Thermostats

Smart home connectors can enable homeowners to control their thermostats remotely via apps on their phone.

But security flaws in the technology can also allow hackers to take control of your home’s temperature.

4 – Cars
A lot of people are excited about the prospect of self-driving cars.

But what many people don’t realize is that researchers have already demonstrated how to hack cars that are currently on the market and take control over everything from the radio to the brakes.

5 – Televisions

Televisions have changed a lot over the years, and one of the biggest changes involves the ability to connect to the internet in order to connect to services like Netflix.

This connectivity makes TVs as vulnerable to hacks as computers, which can expose your personal information. Plus, some of these TVs have built-in webcams and microphones that can be used for spying.

6 – Medical Devices

These connections are intended to share health data with physicians, but if cyber terrorists were to hack into to the device they could deplete the battery or even control it remotely.

It’s scary to think about someone hacking the personal information on your computer, but it really can’t get more personal than digitally hacking someone’s heart.

7 – Baby Monitors
Baby monitor hacking is a shockingly common problem, and it’s one that seems to be getting worse.

8 – Toilets
Yes, there are companies that sell “smart” toilets.

But it’s the fact that these products don’t look like prime targets for hacking that causes manufacturers to neglect certain security features.

It's hard to believe that hackers would want to take control of your baby monitor or even thermostat but it can lead to so much trouble. Now that you know how vulnerable your devices can be, take some time to secure them. It can definitely save you and your family a lot of trouble in the long run.
