A suspected burglar in Edina, Minnesota is using Wi-Fi jamming to disable connected security cameras, raising concerns about the vulnerability of smart security systems. The jammer's technology is becoming more accessible, with other smart home security products also susceptible to wireless signal jamming.

To safeguard against Wi-Fi jamming, homeowners are advised to physically connect devices, leverage smart home technology, and configure devices to alert when signal/connection is interrupted.
