Refurbished/used home appliances -- yet another way to leak credentials.
I look forward to a day when the internal components of home appliances are salvaged on the off-chance that a user's credentials could be found in them.
You can bet that off-brand devices will ask for a username/password and store it locally in plaintext.

- duderific 11y agoThis is already happening with used/refurbished copiers (not a home appliance usually, but still.) With many copiers, all scans are kept in memory. So copies of things with SSN's or other confidential information are just sitting there in the copier's memory, waiting to be retrieved by the next owner.
