Security experts say these are the 7 'creepiest' smart gadgets people give as holiday gifts

Mozilla cites similar concerns for the Ring Indoor Cam, noting that Amazon "stored customer data — including video recordings — unencrypted on an Amazon cloud server and employees could access any of this data," as Techcrunch reported earlier this month.

Like the other Ring products, the security cam is dinged by Mozilla for opaque policies around privacy and security.

"They aren't as transparent as we would like them to be about their privacy and data deletion practices," Mozilla writes.

Mozilla was unable to determine how the Wemo Smart Dimmer encrypts data or protects users' privacy. The dimmer, which lets users dim lights with an app on their phone, was also found to be vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Belkin, the company that manufactures the device, did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

This gadget, designed to help teach kids how to code, is WiFi-enabled and is praised by Mozilla as a device that "sounds pretty darn fun." But it has no clear privacy policy and isn't transparent about how it handles user data, meaning it fails to meet Mozilla's basic security requirements.

A spokesperson for Educational Insights did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

This robot is designed to scoop cat litter automatically and connects to WiFi so that users can watch their cats on a cam and gauge "waste drawer levels" from an app.

"Unfortunately, this product raises as many red flags and the litter box itself probably does when Fluffy is dealing with an upset stomach. The company didn't take the time to get back to us with answers to our privacy and security questions. They also do not meet our Minimum Security Standards because the only privacy policy we could find was one for the website," Mozilla wrote.

A spokesperson for Litter Robot did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This device is yet another "smart" litterbox capable of alerting owners when their cat has entered or left the box and can automatically scoop poop into a bin. It doesn't have any clear privacy policy despite connecting to WiFi and running a smartphone app.

"What's the worst that could go wrong with a Bluetooth connected litter box with potentially poor privacy and security protections? Perhaps not a whole lot. But we'd rather see them take your security and privacy seriously so we don't have to find out," Mozilla wrote.

A spokesperson for OurPets did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
