Here is Yarbo’s promise to fix the robot mower that ran me over

Yarbo apologized after a report showed serious security flaws in its robot mowers, including weak remote access and exposed credentials.

The issues could allow remote hijacking and expose sensitive data such as GPS coordinates, Wi‑Fi passwords, and email addresses.

Yarbo temporarily disabled remote access, said fixes and stronger account controls are being rolled out, and is reviewing a restricted internal backdoor.

The case highlights the safety and privacy risks posed by insecure connected IoT devices.
