Experts identified major security vulnerabilities in Philips Hue smart lightbulbs four years ago, and the issue is still not fully resolved.
Four years ago, security researchers uncovered a security issue in Philips Hue smart lightbulbs that allowed hackers to access the devices from outside a building. This is possible because the smart bulbs are linked to the centralized Philips Hue Hub network. Anyone with these products should ensure their network is updated to version 1935144040 to ensure proper patches are applied.
