Are ‘Smart’ Electric Meters Spying On You?
The caveat is that they want us to trust them to keep it secure...
This story is by Clark Fouraker on the CBS New York website:
"Unlike the meter on most homes, smart meters send data from your home back to the power company every 15 minutes. Utilities don’t just learn how much power you use; they can also be alerted in real-time to an outage caused by bad weather. The smart meter’s ability to talk back to the utility has some people concerned information about their lifestyle and habits at home could fall into the wrong hands, CBS2’s Fouraker reported."
