Is YOUR smart vape spying on you... for China? MP raises fears

Mail Online
A Labour MP warns that smart vapes made in China could spy on Brits via mobile phones.

Summary

Labour MP Graeme Downie has raised concerns that smart vapes manufactured in China could be used to spy on British citizens by harvesting confidential data through their mobile phones. He called on the government to investigate internet-connected e-cigarettes, particularly those with Bluetooth capabilities and touchscreens, which could compromise user security. The MP highlighted that these devices, often used for analytics and habit tracking, could be exploited for remote device snooping due to the Chinese state's control over the industry. The National Cyber Security Centre acknowledged that any device capable of internet connection carries some risk, urging users to weigh the benefits of 'smart' features against potential security implications.
