Consumer Reports says it will start including cybersecurity and privacy safeguards in its product reviews.
The nonprofit, which reviews everything from cars to appliances, has worked with several organizations to develop methods for evaluating how vulnerable a product is to hacking and how securely data it collects is stored, Consumer Reports said in a Monday press release.
“The goal is to help consumers understand which digital products do the most to protect their privacy and security, and give them the most control over their personal data,” a blog about the initiative reads.
