Ya, but that's pretty out there. The big problem with vulnerabilities is millions of hackers from all over the world can actively exploit them at the same time.

Ya, but that's pretty out there. The big problem with vulnerabilities is millions of hackers from all over the world can actively exploit them at the same time. If you limit it to someone digging in your trash, you would have to be a pretty high value target for someone to go through that.
I wouldn't expect anyone in my neighborhood to go through that for free internet.
- Retric 8y agoIt's common for apartments to have trash can in their mail room that's just got mail in it. So, it's not going to be unclean and being able to leech internet is likely worth it for many people.
- IncRnd 8y agoYou fundamentally misunderstand the attack. Nobody needs to dig in your trash. A malicious third party only needs one account number/address from any Comcast customer. With that, they can use your equipment to download child porn or launch illegal traffic that will trace back to you.
