Summary/Abstract: In assessing the adequacy of current European Union laws for ensuring the consumer of Internet of Things devices their cybersecurity, it should be pointed out that in many aspects there should be legislative changes that take into account the technological advances of recent years, including those relating to the Internet of Things technology. As indicated earlier, even the very inadequacy of the provisions for the implementation of the information obligation to the consumer, which significantly affects the formation of the consumer's position, is difficult to implement in the case of Internet of Things devices. On the plus side, any legislative steps taken as well as those planned at the level of the European Union should be assessed, although, of course, the final assessment of their adequacy for the Internet of Things technology will be possible only after their adoption.
