Is this recall of IoT devices the first of a kind? While it is but a drop in the bucket of IoT insecurity, it has to be an expensive way for the Chinese firm Hangzhou Xiongmai to learn that having the same password on all devices is a security bad idea. Other manufacturers should take note.
- coldcode 10y agoAt least shaming the manufacturers into considering security is a good thing if it makes them avoid being shamed in the future by caring about security. But I doubt most people who bought and use these devices will care as long as they still work.
- mkertajaya 10y agoAgreed. This is a good business decision to issue a recall. It probably won't cost too much since very few people will actually return it.
- laggyluke 10y agoI can imagine having a vulnerable webcam is a huge privacy risk too.
