Why Should We Care About Joe Biden's White House Peloton?
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden wants to take his Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:PTON) bike with him to the White House and some security experts are concerned it poses a potential safety problem, according to the New York Times.
What Happened: Pelton's fitness bike is connected to the internet and includes a microphone and camera that could be hacked. But the U.S. Secret Service could be able to take necessary steps to safeguard the connected device from outside threats.
發生的事情:佩爾頓的健身自行車連接到了互聯網,幷包括一個麥克風和攝像頭,可能會被黑客入侵。但美國特勤局可能會採取必要措施,保護聯網設備免受外部威脅。
Like clockwork, the media seems to love a story about a new security threat entering the White House. In 2016, security experts were concerned that outgoing President Donald Trump's Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone poses a threat. Similarly, former President Barack Obama didn't want to part ways with his BlackBerry Ltd (NYSE:BB) when he entered the White House.

Why It's Important: Security experts may be confident that Biden's Peloton bike poses a very small risk. But, CISO at Cyjax Ian Thornton-Trump told Forbes the job of the Secret Service and other security apparatus in the White House is to mitigate every single risk.
為什麼它很重要:安全專家可能相信,拜登的佩洛頓自行車構成了一個非常小的風險。但是,CISO在Cyjax Ian Thornton-Trump告訴《福布斯》白宮特勤局和其他安全機構的工作是減輕每一個風險。
"IoT devices in proximity to, or used by, the President should come under the utmost scrutiny—as I think the key issue here may be covert audio or video surveillance when in use or when idle (and not powered off)," said Thornton-Trump.
桑頓-特朗普説:“總統附近或總統使用的物聯網設備應該受到最嚴格的審查--因為我認為這裏的關鍵問題可能是在使用或空閒(且沒有關機)時進行祕密的音頻或視頻監控。”
What's Next: Biden may be able to keep his bike but at the expense of removing the camera, microphone, and all access points to the internet.
接下來是什麼:拜登也許能夠保留他的自行車,但代價是移除了攝像頭、麥克風和所有的互聯網接入點。
