Default LG's smart washer has dirty secret

It goes online and uploads gigabytes of data

An LG washing machine owner was shocked that his smart home gadget uploaded a whopping 3.66GB of data daily.

According to Tom’s Hardware, the owner cut the washing machine off the net and blocked it using his router UI.

One day, the device uploaded 3.57GB and downloaded about 100MB, and the data traffic was non-stop. Meanwhile, according to the owner’s Asus router interface screenshot, the washing machine used up nearly five per cent of his internet traffic daily.
