Vince Steckler, chief executive of security giant Avast, said, smart coffee machines allow owners to control them remotely using their phones. Users can even give the machines vocal commands if they are connected to virtual assistant software such as Amazon’s Alexa.

“Coffee machines are not designed for security. They are additional vectors to get into your network. And you can’t protect them,” Steckler said in a media statement.

In its report, “Global Print Security Landscape, 2019,” Quocirca addressed the potential security vulnerabilities posed by connected printers.

The report highlighted that 60 percent of businesses in the U.K., U.S., France, and Germany suffered a print-related data breach in 2019, which resulted in a data loss that cost companies an average of more than US$ 400,000.
