Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Security researchers discovered severe vulnerabilities in Ecovacs robots that allow hackers to take control via Bluetooth from up to 450 feet away.

Ecovacs hasn't responded to the researchers' reports, leaving these vulnerabilities potentially exploitable.
