Tech Expert Finds Keurig Coffee Maker Uploaded 1 TB of Data in 10 Days
A tech expert discovered that a Keurig Smart single-serve coffee maker owned by their parents uploaded about one terabyte of data over 10 days, causing network saturation. The techie attributed this to a likely bug in the specific unit and disconnected the appliance to stop the data transfer. The device connects to home 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks with WPA2-PSK security. The incident sparked social media interest, with users questioning the necessity of such high data usage by a coffee machine.
