Am I really supposed to be scared of a burglar who has the skills to hack a security system though? If he has those skills maybe he can find a good paying job

- detaro 10y agoYou'd think that with malware also, and that has turned into a business model by now: the people writing the code often are not the ones using it, selling exploitkits instead. Even offering it as SaaS or subscriptions nowadays. Not sure if disabling Nest cameras is interesting enough, but there could be a black-market business somewhere in interrupting IoT devices. (E.g. sell an android phone preloaded with an app to unlock remote controlled locks)
- closeparen 10y agoYep. I remember reading that sophisticated car remote entry hacks were encapsulated in little mircrocontroller-based push-and-go boxes and sold via the criminal underworld to people who would actually be willing to take the risk of using them.
- tonmoy 10y agoOr just make an app that can disable nest cams with some ads in it
- pfarnsworth 10y agoI'm sure it will be productized into a simple Cydia app that can be bought and used instantly.
