3.2.2. Eavesdropping

Smart grids are meant not for the electricity supply from grid to home or home to grid but also as a communication channel between a smart home to the SG and also sends various control messages and forecasts the power demand in advance [53]. If an adversary eavesdrops or sneaks into someone's SM, he or she can easily know the homeowner's routine/lifestyle, living habits, and interests (tuned TV channel) as well as the time they go

to work and when a person is at home or not. This information may result in compromising the customer's privacy and also can also be used to plan for theft and other activities.
