Tuya's IOT products may be a high security risk

Cyber experts warn that Chinese tech giant Tuya’s IOT products may be a high security risk. Tuya makes products that have been incorporated into many of today's, smart devices including smart TVs, smart home security camera, home thermostats and appliances—even smart pet feeders. Many of the products that make them smart are provided by Tuya currently installed in over 116 million smart devices. Over 5000 brands have incorporated Tuya’s tech into their devices. Tuya falls under a new Chinese law that requires company to turn over any and all collected when the government request it. And Tuya has been collecting a lot of personal information from their devices. This raises both privacy and security concerns. There are currently proposals in congress limiting the expansion of Tuya in the U. S. marketplace. https://www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/voa-news-china/cybersecurity-experts-worried-chinese-firms-control-smart-devices
