The Internet of Things is about sensors everywhere and to a more limited extent actuators. But actuators are relatively few compared to sensors. Fine grained sensors are out at the edge here there is no normal wireless connectivity and are quite a challenge to innovate, power and scale out at very low cost. The next challenging is gathering the edge information at highly distributed small systems that may be more wireless/internet connected in some form. While you could hack to corrupt data feeds flowi

While you could hack to corrupt data feeds flowing up the question is what would be the significant payoff to make it worth it at all? You corrupt the out on the farm soil sensors so the watering systems give too much or too little water? Not so easy to get away with and no payoff beyond malice and an ego trip.
Look carefully everyone - this is the argument from shitty devs of limited cognitive capacity that results in insecure products. The argument "why would anyone want to hack me" is stupid, and people making the argument deserve all the derision we are laying on them. They work under the assumption that no one has an enemy, or an ex, or a corporate competitor, or a disgruntled customer, or an angry creditor...etc... who wants to take them down. This is a stupid argument and you should feel stupid for putting that argument into words.
You *never* make the argument "why would anyone want to hack me"! You always work under the assumption that there is already a hostile threat after you *specifically*; only then will your designs be even halfway decent.

You are being played.
Ironic.
