Exactly. The vast majority of people aren't aware that their "smart thermostat" can be hacked and used to perform a denial of service attack on websites.
- anc84 10y agoI'd wager that the vast majority of people also does not care the slightest about that. The manufacturer is at fault for that, not the person who bought the device. Unless people themselves get any drawback, why should they care?
- enraged_camel 10y agoWell, it's like how people used to not care about leaving their wifi access points unprotected back in the day. It took several years of news stories of neighbors downloading child porn through those WAPs (and things like that) before people became aware of the risks and password protection became standard practice.
