Panic ! Hundreds of thousands of routers, cameras and other IoT devices have security holes

Smart home tech has been labelled a security disaster in a huge test which found gaping holes in hundreds of thousands of connected devices.
Researchers in France found more than 140,000 Internet of Things (IoT) devices, from routers to CCTV systems can be hacked, allowing criminals to find out information about you and your network.
Eurecom also found problems in the apps that control the hardware, with one major vendor's application giving hackers 'back-door' access to your smart home system - it's available on Google Playand has half a million users.
