Smart homes are here to stay. Many of us now have an Amazon Echo or Google Home and are adding video doorbells, automatic door locks and other automation features.But how can you make sure you are keeping your family safe and not sharing your most private moments with the world?Digital assistants doing more and moreIt all started with Amazon's Echo digital assistant, which in the beginning played music and answered our basic questions.Then along came Google Home, and soon we were using voice assistants to ask who's at the front door, open up the garage and adjust the lights.Now, almost two years later, digital assistants are flying off the shelves at Best Buy, loved by busy moms like Amanda Compton, who we found shopping with her toddler at a Best Buy store."It does a lot of work for you when you have kids," she said. "It kind of helps out a lot."Google vs AmazonThe first thing you'll notice when you are looking at smart home devices is that there are two different universes. You have the option of purchasing Google Home or Amazon's Echo, each selling for around 0 (though simplified models cost less.)Apple recently launched the Home Pod, though is it a bit late to the game and at 0 is much more expensive than the competition. Like the Apple Watch, it appears aimed at a more upscale audience.Each works with its own set of apps and devices, though in the end they are pretty much the same, according to Best Buy's Brian Gibson.Which is better? Gibson says its really just personal choice. All of them will control cameras, your thermostat, smart lights, even smart door locks.How vulnerable are you?But some security experts are sounding the alarm.IT security consultant David Hatter says a vulnerability in one of your devices can let a hacker watch your video cameras, maybe even access your bank account, if they are all on the same WiFi network."If someone can break into your washing machine," Hatter explained, "and then into your door lock, they can potentially break into your house or your bank account."He says many people set up smart devices leaving the default password, which is often as simple as 1-2-3-4."If you just buy a smart thermostat and don't change any of the settings, you're ripe for hacking," he said.He says Echo and Google home units themselves are fairly secure, but it is the peripherals that are more vulnerable.Hatter says to protect yourself: 2435

Springtime is one of the busiest times to buy and sell a used car, but if you’re looking to buy, you’ll want to check a few things you probably never thought about. Here is advice Consumer Reports has when buying a used car:When buying a car, most customers check out the vehicle history report, which is what you should do. But, one thing the report won’t tell you is if that car was used as a ride sharing vehicle for Uber or Lyft.Without this information, you’ll want to check the mileage. A telltale sign a car was used for ride sharing is a newer car that has a lot of miles. Next, check the rear seat for excess wear and tear.You’ll also want to look for residue from stickers. Uber and Lyft drivers have to display their stickers on the front or rear windshields.If there are signs that the car was use for ride sharing, you’ll want to reach out to the manufacturer, not the dealer, to ask how many miles remain covered on the warranty. Whenever purchasing a used car, remember have it inspected by an independent mechanic. 1053
