Like the oven where the smart feature is turning off a safety feature

uh what?

Yes, there is a smart oven where one of its automated features is that it will basically turn itself off if accidentally left on, and you can turn this feature off wirelessly

From what I remember this was the only smart functionality it had

So giving people control?

not sure thats a safety feature, actualy. I think it will shut off if it gets to hot regardless

Giving anyone with network access the ability to turn off a safety feature, not just you in your own home lol

What do you mean not just in your home?

There are people who had their smart lights hacked for days on end, going into rave mode and spelling out Morse code

network access to your own (w)lan though, right?

id hope

Smart devices can can be remotely accessed via the internet

Most people have shit passwords on their local networks, and if your neighbour has wireless fuck safety oven, you're potentially in danger too

huh

There is a difference between people hacking lights and trying to blow up your oven

Right and the existence of one proves the possibility of the other

The trick is to be very careful about what you add wireless functionality to

i was pretty sure you couldnt even make shit passwords. arent they all like 64 byte or something? Now the access to the admin commands on the router is a different story but for that you first need to have access to the network overall.

Hell, doesn't even have to be ravemode lights
Imagine you can check the status of everyone's lights on a whole street

They can still be bruteforced

Most people don't even move beyond admin/admin lol

How easy will burglars have it now that they can see when nobody is home

House 3's lights have been off for several days, time to loot their shit

Saying that security doesnt evolve

It only evolves if and when people buy into it

And currently it's evolving with the same faults

If it becomes any sort of problem people will buy into it and the devices may very well adapt them also

The fault is inherent in IoT, which is that things that weren't network vulnerable now are

You're adding a whole dimension of security issues

@Existence is identity well it can be bruteforced. but at current levels of technology the sun will be a red giant before thats done at wpa2 for instance with 63 charackters

Not everything is wpa2 though

Brute force isn't even necessary at this point

Phishing and using defaults are still surprisingly effective

must be different over there then.

Most people use defaults actually

Hey normies. I'm back.

Yup

over here, the admin access to the router has default values, but the wpa keys and such are randomised and printed on the buttom of the device.

They've been doing that more recently here

Because the average consumer will not come up with a good pw
