近日，一位自称金融科技极客的用户在X上发帖求助，他的LG智能洗衣机竟然每天平均消耗3.66GB流量！这夸张的数据量让他不禁怀疑：“是洗衣机被入侵了？还是它天生就是个网瘾少年？”
网友们纷纷展开“侦探”工作，试图找出洗衣机消耗如此多流量的原因。根据Johnie提供的截图，某一天，这台洗衣机上传了3.57GB，下载约100MB，流量消耗几乎不间断。而华硕路由器的数据显示，这台洗衣机更是占到了Johnie每日家庭网络流量的5%！于是，各种猜测纷纷出笼：下载DLC？还是被黑挖矿？
然而，最终谜底揭开：罪魁祸首疑似是华硕路由器的误报！Johnie在后续帖文中表示，他检测到华硕路由器存在数据记录不准确的问题。其他LG智能洗衣机用户也证实，他们的洗衣机通常每天的流量都不到1MB。
虽然Johnie的遭遇有些啼笑皆非，但智能设备被黑客入侵并非玩笑。试想一下，如果医疗设备或工业物联网设备被恶意控制，后果将不堪设想。本周早些时候，就有报道称博世生产的网络连接扳手存在严重漏洞，黑客可以远程控制或植入勒索软件。

“News Headline: Surprising Data Consumption by Smart Washing Machine Revealed as False Alarm by ASUS Router
Keywords: Smart Washing Machine, Data Consumption, ASUS Router False Alarm
News Content: Recently, a user claiming to be a financial technology geek posted for help on X, stating that his LG Smart Washing Machine was consuming an average of 3.66GB of data per day! This exaggerated amount of data made him wonder, “Has the washing machine been hacked? Or is it a born internet addict?”
Netizens began their detective work, trying to find out why the washing machine was consuming so much data. According to the screenshot provided by Johnie, one day, this washing machine uploaded 3.57GB and downloaded about 100MB, with almost no interruption in data consumption. The ASUS router’s data showed that this washing machine accounted for 5% of Johnie’s daily home network traffic! As a result, various speculations emerged: downloading DLC? Or being hacked for mining?
However, the final mystery was revealed: the suspected culprit was a false alarm by the ASUS router! In his subsequent post, Johnie stated that he detected inaccurate data recording by the ASUS router. Other LG Smart Washing Machine users also confirmed that their washing machines usually consume less than 1MB of data per day.
Although Johnie’s experience was somewhat amusing, the hacking of smart devices is no joke. Just imagine if medical devices or industrial IoT devices were maliciously controlled, the consequences would be unthinkable. Earlier this week, there were reports that Bosch’s network-connected wrenches had serious vulnerabilities, allowing hackers to remotely control or implant ransomware.”
