With the increasing prevalence of internet things and our ever-expanding digital lives, Cybersecurity should be at the very top of your considerations. Make sure your smart house is smart, and you’ve not left yourself vulnerable to any online connections. A simple password like “Rover12” can be cracked almost instantly by a hacker/device, If you double it to something like “Rover12=Rover12”, it would take more than 2 years to decrypt. An easy upgrade requiring little additional mental gymnastics.  You may want to consider creating a second network for your home for your guests, children, or devices (Alexa, Sonos, Ring Doorbell, etc.) to connect to. These devices can be hacked, but if no financial information is flowing through that network, you’re much more secure.
