•Hacked robot vacuums hurl racial slurs at shocked owners, who react with ‘fear, disgust’
59% Informative
The racist hack attack affected Ecovacs Deebot X2s across several U.S. cities.
Minnesota lawyer Daniel Swenson said he was watching TV in May when his robo-vacuum started to emit sounds that initially “sounded like a broken-up radio signal or something,” he said.
Then, like a horror movie, the cybernetic cleaner started to move and unleash a stream of obscenities.
It's unclear how many devices were affected or who the perpetrators were.
