This is a short article that gives us a glimpse of how bad things currently are in the Internet Of Shit.
The penultimate paragraph: So, in summary: it's a device that infringes my copyright, gives you root access in response to trivial credentials, has access control that depends entirely on nobody ever looking at the packets, is sufficiently poorly implemented that you can crash both it and the bulbs, has a cloud access protocol that has no security whatsoever and also acts as an easy mechanism for people to circumvent your network security. This may be the single worst device I've ever bought.
- mjg59 8y agoHaving bought a bunch of IoT stuff since then - these are probably still the single worst device I've ever bought, with the possible exception of the Bluetooth bike lock that had a hardcoded backdoor unlock code.
