No Safety Nets in the Real World
Unlike the virtual world, the real world has no safety nets. As we install billions of new IoT devices like cameras + digital assistants into our homes, hackers have their targets set on the rich/sensitive data of our smart homes — how can we stay protected?

With a wave of “Powered by IoTeX” devices coming soon, powerful network effects will unleash new possibilities for IoTeX.
IoTeX is featured in @CoinDesk’s new article on privacy!
“At the heart of the problem is data ownership. Decentralization offers a way for individual people and entities to own their data.” — @Raullen
