![]() And to see how each system performed in our jamming and replay disarm tests-as well as our data privacy, data security, and standard performance tests-check out our complete home security system ratings. Read on for more details on our test results. These results demonstrate that it’s possible to create a system that is less susceptible to these relatively sophisticated attacks. “But we do want consumers to be aware that this is possible, and if you are in the market now for a new system, we found options that are more resistant to this issue.”įive other systems-Blue by ADT, Ecobee, Honeywell Home, Kangaroo, and Ooma-successfully resisted jamming and replay attacks using CR’s RF transceiver technique. “If you own one of these jammable systems, you don’t necessarily need to replace it since the problem is not that common right now,” says Fred Garcia, a test engineer for privacy and security at the Digital Lab. ![]() Owners of these systems needn’t panic, however. Our experts in the Digital Lab design our tests using The Digital Standard, an open-source set of criteria for evaluating digital products and services created by CR with other organizations, scoring these security systems on more than 70 factors. The tests are done in CR’s Digital Lab, which evaluates a number of digital products and services for privacy and security. The tests were conducted as part of our first-ever digital privacy and security tests of DIY home security systems. Two of those systems-Cove and Eufy-are also susceptible to replay disarm signal attacks, a more complicated attack where a hacker captures and records the disarm signal from a keyfob and later broadcasts it to disarm the security system, again using a laptop and an RF transceiver. The systems our testers were able to jam are the Abode Iota All-In-One Kit, Cove Home Security System, Eufy 5-Piece Home Alarm Kit, Ring Alarm Security Kit (2nd gen.), and SimpliSafe The Essentials SS3-01.
