Do IoT devices update? How is their update practice similar, different, better, or worse than non-IoT devices? Our study examined 2+ years of smart home network traffic data. We found that software components on IoT devices are more outdated than those on non-IoT devices (e.g., computers and phones); and that vendors were slow to roll out updates. These outdated software components presented serious supply chain security risks to the IoT devices.
