I’ve read another got hacked through their smart refrigerator. I’ma thinking a “smart” home may not be such a smart home.

Like the story where the guy was stuck in the dark because his “smart lights’ stopped working during the Google hack.

Just stunningly crazy.

Yes, the IoT could turn out to be a security nightmare...

My daughter and son-in-law are cyber security experts and white hat hackers, and they have no “smart” appliances in their home.
