Electronics Worksheet: IoT Safety and Privacy
Remember (Lock it, update it, share little): Good: change default passwords, install updates, set strong passwords, share little, set up with a parent. Risky: factory passwords, sharing camera links, live location, ignoring updates, every permission. Privacy = controlling who can see your data; ask a parent before giving personal details.
