AI-Enabled Toilets Start Tracking Health Metrics at Home

AI-powered smart toilets measure stool texture, urine color, and hydration with cameras and sensors; Throne Science has raised $10 million in a Series A for its Throne One camera ($399) plus $5.99/month, which uses your phone to identify users, with competitors like Toto, Vivoo, Kohler, and Withings offering similar devices. Doctors see potential value for GI patients but caution that current data aren’t diagnostic and many factors affect digestion; FDA clearance would be needed for medical diagnoses, and industry expects mainstream adoption in 6–10 years.

Smart Home, Smarter Living: 10 Automations You Can Try Today

A technology piece details 10 practical smart‑home automations using IFTTT, geofencing, sensors, and schedules to boost convenience and safety—examples include lights that welcome you after sunset when you unlock the door, geofence-based thermostat control for energy savings, sensor‑driven alerts with blinking lights and voice notices, a coffee maker prepped for your morning, vacation‑mode lighting to mimic presence, weather‑aware smart sprinklers, vacuums that stop near a trash bin, leaving‑home vocal reminders, daily weather briefings from your assistant, and auto‑max security when you depart.

HarmonyOS Aims for Ultra-Low RAM: 64KB and a Year-Long Battery for IoT

Huawei, at its 2026 Developer Conference, claimed HarmonyOS can be optimized to run on as little as 64KB of RAM (down from 128KB) and, with a sufficiently large battery, operate for a year on a single dry cell in IoT devices, signaling a push to ultra-efficient, ecosystem-wide deployments. The company also teased the LogicFolding chip architecture and plans to leverage existing DUV tooling to boost chip density and performance while expanding HarmonyOS beyond smartphones.

AcuRite shifts users to cloud-first NOW platform, retiring legacy My AcuRite app

AcuRite announced that the My AcuRite app will be retired on May 30 in favor of AcuRite NOW, a newer cloud-based platform designed for mobile-first use and better Weather Underground data sharing (via a subscription). Company VP Jeff Bovee says the old app’s underlying tech is obsolete and maintaining two apps isn’t sustainable, but customers complain NOW lacks several My AcuRite features and a new web dashboard is still in development. The move highlights ongoing challenges for IoT vendors balancing legacy user bases with upgrading platforms.

KadNap DHT Botnet Turns 14k Edge Devices into Stealth Proxies; ClipXDaemon Hijacks Linux Wallet Addresses

Security researchers uncovered KadNap, a new malware targeting Asus routers and other edge devices that forms a decentralized, Kademlia DHT–based proxy botnet with over 14,000 infected hosts (majority in the U.S.). It uses a shell script downloaded from a C2 at 212.104.141.140 to install persistence, fetch a kad ELF, and join a peer-to-peer network that hides C2 traffic and feeds a Doppelgänger proxy service; the operators tier targets, close SSH (port 22), and collect host time and uptime to build peer hashes for network coordination. The same report also details ClipXDaemon, a memory-only Linux clipboard hijacker that replaces copied cryptocurrency wallet addresses in real time for multiple coins, with no C2 or beaconing and designed to avoid Wayland sessions.

Security flaw lets 7,000 DJI Romo vacuums stream live home footage

A security demonstration revealed that a tester could use a PS5 controller-connected app to access DJI Romo robot vacuums through DJI’s servers, seeing and hearing from camera feeds on about 7,000 devices worldwide by leveraging a private token from his own Romo; DJI claimed fixes were in place, but The Verge showed a live demonstration of continued access, and DJI says remaining vulnerabilities will be patched in weeks, underscoring ongoing privacy risks for home cameras.

The Private Surveillance Economy: When Ring and IoT Cameras Redefine Intelligence

Private companies are shifting intelligence gathering from governments to a commercial market, turning everyday sensors—door cameras, license-plate readers, drones—into a coordinated data network used by law enforcement and investigators. Ring's controversial 'Search Party' pet-recovery push illustrated how partnerships and AI could blur privacy protections and enable mass surveillance without traditional warrants. As this 'intelligence as a service' model expands, questions about national sovereignty, democratic oversight, and civil liberties loom, even as governments retain traditional capabilities.

A single bug unlocked thousands of DJI Romo vacuums, exposing live feeds and floor plans

An investigation shows a back-end permission flaw in DJI’s Romo system allowed a researcher to access roughly 7,000 robot vacuums (and up to 10,000 related devices) worldwide, remotely control them, view live video, and map rooms before DJI patched the flaw in early February. The episode raises questions about smart-home security and data practices, even though traffic was encrypted and DJI says the issue is resolved and that the vulnerability was rare beyond researchers testing their own devices.

800k Telnet Devices Open to Root-Login Bypass (CVE-2026-24061)

Shadowserver has identified about 800,000 IPs fingerprinted for Telnet activity, highlighting widespread exposure to the root-login bypass in GNU InetUtils telnetd (CVE-2026-24061) affecting 1.9.3–2.7 and patched in 2.8; attackers can bypass authentication by sending USER=-f root via Telnet IAC. GreyNoise detected limited exploits starting Jan 21 from 18 IPs across 60 sessions, with 83% targeting root; attackers also attempted Python malware deployment but failed due to missing binaries. Most exposed devices are in Asia and the Americas; admins should disable vulnerable telnetd or block port 23 until patching.
