Take a WiFi-enabled fridge, install malware, and as soon as it's delivered to its new (wealthy, in order to afford it) owner, you can do as you please with his home network, since you are already inside his firewall.

And all it takes is to have one of your people install some software at some point along the distribution chain.

Or even at its Chinese point of manufacturing...

Who didn’t see this coming? Soon, your toaster will be spying on you!...............

[dirtboy]

I wonder if the fridge came from Target?

[null and void]

Keep your eye on the toaster....

TOASTER: Howdy doodly do! How's it going? I'm Talkie -- Talkie Toaster, your chirpy breakfast companion. Talkie's the name, toasting's the game. Anyone like any toast?
LISTER: Look, I don't want any toast, and he (indicating KRYTEN) doesn't want any toast. In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. NO TOAST.
TOASTER: How 'bout a muffin?
LISTER: OR muffins! OR muffins! We don't LIKE muffins around here! We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and DEFINITELY no smegging flapjacks!
TOASTER: Aah, so you're a waffle man!
LISTER: (to KRYTEN) See? You see what he's like? He winds me up, man. There's no reasoning with him.
KRYTEN: If you'll allow me, Sir, as one mechanical to another. He'll understand me. (Addressing the TOASTER as one would address an errant child) Now. Now, you listen here. You will not offer ANY grilled bread products to ANY member of the crew. If you do, you will be on the receiving end of a very large polo mallet.
TOASTER: Can I ask just one question?
KRYTEN: Of course.
TOASTER: Would anyone like any toast?
KRYTEN: Didn't you HEAR what I just said?
TOASTER: Yes, but I thought you might have changed your mind in the meantime.
LISTER: You see? You see what he's like?
KRYTEN: (Exasperated) We haven't changed our mind!
LISTER: NO TOAST!
TOASTER: But I am a toaster. It is my raison d'etre. I toast, therefore I am.

Just don't let your Keurig (a.k.a. Nutri-Matic Drinks Synthesizer) on the network when you try to explain to it that you want tea.

Our local news did a hacker piece on cell phone charges, yep, they now can hack your smart devices from your chargers.

So don’t SHARE!

Guess I’ll continue to nurse my 25+ year old fridge. That reminds me, it needs the drip bucket at the bottom and on the inside dumped.

[Peet]

I have to laugh every time I see the pinheads on the taxpayer-funded PBS series “This Old House” brag about the home automation system they installed:

“We can control the lights, heat, locks, etc. from a smartphone or tablet! Ain’t that cool?”

Sure. What could _possibly_ go wrong?

There is NO WAY I’m buying appliances that connect to the Internet!
