Dr. Anna Maria Mandalari's research highlights significant security vulnerabilities in over 210 smart devices, revealing widespread data leakage to the US and China. Many devices, including smart speakers and TVs, collect ambient dialogue and visual data by default, while browser extensions profile users extensively. The research also demonstrated critical risks in medical IoT devices, where vulnerabilities could lead to fatal consequences if exploited. Mandalari's team proposes localized Edge AI systems on home routers to detect and mitigate these threats by classifying traffic and monitoring power consumption anomalies. AI
