Quote of the Day
The federal government is rolling out a consumer labeling system designed to help Americans pick smart devices that are less vulnerable to hacking.
Under the voluntary program, called the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Initiative, manufacturers can affix the label on their products if they meet federal cybersecurity standards. The types of devices that can seek to carry the label include baby monitors, home security cameras, fitness trackers, refrigerators and other internet-connected appliances.
