> Just ignore all the idiotic connected home crap covered by the popular press. Funny, that's what a black hat would say who compromises tens of thousands of homes because of a shitty consumer device. And a global disable, how's that going to work? The "IoT" is a major crapshoot, because any idiot can hook up their garbage to the internet and (inadvertently) enable RCE (remote code execution) on it compromising the home network of the user even if it doesn't state that risk on the tin (as if you could prove that with current methods). The world hasn't seen an incident big enough to care, but I bet one is coming (look for cutesy names like Heartbleed and Stagefright in the headlines) and it will be the usual game of hindsight that leads politicians to go public about it as it has been the case with any major invention (cigarettes, alcohol, cars) that found its way into the public's hands. The golden age of black hats is before us still. I wish I could say I wouldn't be affected...
