This cross-national review analyzed government cybersecurity guidance for smart homes, finding that while general security advice is abundant, structured, step-by-step incident response guidance is rare.

The paper demonstrates that even a casual attacker with basic IT skills can perform sophisticated privacy attacks on smart-home networks, extracting detailed daily routines and personal information from simple wireless traffic monitoring.

This paper systematically identifies long-term operational risks associated with smart household appliances, using the smart fridge as a case study, and finds that even basic functions are vulnerable due to external IT ecosystem dependencies.
