Most smart home and IoT devices quietly store your Wi-Fi credentials inside a small memory chip and on many products, that information is not well protected. In this video, I break down how a bad actor with brief physical access to an IoT device could potentially extract that data using inexpensive hardware, and why this issue is more common than most people realize.
This content is strictly for awareness and education. I do not provide step-by-step instructions for exploiting devices. Instead, I show the general security gaps, explain how these vulnerabilities happen, and outline practical steps that consumers and manufacturers can take to reduce risk.
