Hackers have taken control of robot vacuum cleaners in multiple US cities over the past few days, causing the devices to shout racial slurs and profanities such as "F**kface can’t you clean your motherf**king shoes before coming in" through their speakers. The incidents involve the Chinese-made Ecovacs Deebot X2 models, which have previously been subject to security concerns.

The hackers were able to physically control the vacuums, indicating a significant security vulnerability.
