Sorry peeps. But I have zero interest in connecting anything in my house to the internet other than my computers as I at least stand a chance of having reasonable security on them (I configure them)
It's plainly obvious to me that most manufacturers are utterly clueless. Hard coded piss weak default passwords, internet facing administrative backdoors which are open by default, open ports, a design philosophy of "everything open to anyone by default", no thought that someone might try to attack the device by using it in an unintended manner etc. etc. It's like they're getting newborn children who've never seen the internet to design the security of all this "IOT" crap.
This whole idea should be called the "Internet Of Piss Poor Security" (IOPPS)
More like the "Internet Of Piss Poor Security" (Score:2)
