Cleary a fishing scam.
this is the best news ever. find the compromised thermostat. that’s called evidence.
this just got much simpler.
I’ve read another got hacked through their smart refrigerator. I’ma thinking a “smart” home may not be such a smart home.
The Silverton, an off-the-strip Hotel/casino, in Vegas has a huge aquarium in the hotel lobby.
Networked printers are hacked. If you know the ip address range the hackers can scan the range and try guessing the log in accounts. If I knew the address and you had no log in account then I can print to your printer from anywhere. How hackers get to the network servers from there I have no idea.
“No evidence of widespread voter fraud.” That’s what the officials and judges say, right?
You only need access to the voting machines via the Internet of Things. They don’t have to be yours or even operated by you. As long as they are connected to the internet, the vulnerability exists, and the knowledgable hackers in place, voting can be manipulated.
That the DOJ won’t investigate nor SCOTUS take it up shows how deep the rot goes.
Thanks for posting, New. Go to a casino. Look at all the Chinese-themed machines. Don’t use your card. Notice the companies that make these “games”. Who are they partnered with?
CCP = CNP Comprehensive National Power includes Comprehensive Data Collection.
Kai-Fu Lee at edge.org likes the data collectors to “Chinese Gladiators”. Go figure.

Do you get it yet!?!
The link to the report is no longer available.
However, I dug up the relevant section of the report from somebody's blog(https://seedvc.blog/2017/08/01/hacking-the-fish-tank/). For some reason, there are spelling problems. Here it is:
Read #6:
Technological innovations keep businesses dynamic and pro table, their employees productive and creative, and their premises exciting and modern. A North American casino recently installed a high-tech sh tank as a new attraction, with advanced sensors that automatically regulate temperature, salinity, and feeding schedules.
To ensure these communications remained separate from the commercial network, the casino con gured the tank to use an individual VPN to isolate the tank's data. However, as soon as Darktrace was installed, it identi ed anomalous data transfers from the sh tank to a rare external destination.
Anomalous activity detected:
Transfer of 10GB outside the network
No other company device had communicated with this external location
No other company device was sending a comparable amount of outbound data
Communications took place on a protocol normally associated with audio and video
The tank's communication patterns included sporadic communications with company devices, but that activity was in line with similarly con gured IoT devices. The external data transfers, however, were deemed highly unusual by Darktrace’s AI algorithms.
The data was being transferred to a device in Finland where an attacker had managed to gain control over the tank. This was a clear case of data ex ltration, but far more subtle than typical attempts at data theft.
By targeting an unconventional device that had recently been introduced into the network, the attack managed to evade the casino's traditional security tools. Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System detected the threat because the technology does not make assumptions about where threats will arise. It detected a subtle anomaly that indicated a much larger threat, and it aided the casino in remediating the vulnerability. The incident demonstrates the need to have complete visibility of every user and device – including internet-connected sh tanks.
I will never connect an appliance to the Interwebs.
Or one of those “smart speakers” that relay everything you say to the NSA.
Just wait 'til SKYNET hacks the coke machines:
That’s what they get for not partitioning their network...
Semi-deep state?
Why in the world does anyone need to connect their fish tank thermometer to the internet?
Lots of sucker fish in those casinos.
My fiancée thinks I am crazy for not wanting a Ring doorbell, Nest anything, no digital assistant, no network devices made by Google or Amazon. Yep..... crazy.
