Stay off adult sites and keep a good anti-virus program running on your computer is about all you can do.

And a quote from the site
“The best way you can protect is to connect only necessary devices to the network and place them behind a firewall.

Also, keep your operating systems and software up-to-date, make use of a good security product that protects all your devices within the network, and most importantly, educate yourself about IoT products.”

There was once an instance around here where a user posted a photo of their Apex setup which also had their IP/user/psswrd labeled on the wall in the same photo. Needless to say they claimed things happened and tried to blame R2R; never mind the fact that Google caches photos as well as others.

Security is great, but it is only as great as those using it.
