“As more and more items of personal property and equipment are festooned with IoT sensors and monitoring devices, they represent the potential for gathering, storing and reporting potentially huge volumes of data that will be collected, analyzed, utilized and stored by a wide variety of humans, including engineers, product developers, maintenance and repair personnel, software designers, safety and security officers and many more,” wrote Paul Bent.

“Of course, all this data may also be intercepted and exploited by hackers, thieves, con artists, saboteurs and other nefarious actors.”
