Robot lawn mower company removes backdoor

Yarbo, the company behind a robot lawn mower that reportedly caused injury, has reversed its decision regarding a remote backdoor. Initially, the company planned to keep the backdoor, which could allow unauthorized access and reprogramming of the device over the internet. However, following security concerns and a customer backlash, Yarbo now intends to completely remove this feature. Customers will have the option to decide if any remote access capabilities are installed on their mowers. This change addresses critical security vulnerabilities that could have exposed user data and allowed malicious control of the devices.
