This attack works for a single brand of device if it's either not been configured for wifi yet or you're on the same wifi (and within wifi range or control the router, just access to the wifi isn't enough). So the risk profile to an owner seems negligible. Probably more risk that your coffee maker will have a short circuit and catch on fire. If this is the doomsday scenario then I can see why no one cares.
- mcguire 6y agoThe same could be said for Stuxnet.

I think the reference was to the payload, which was targeted at the Siemens S7-315-2 programmable logic controller in order to destabilize high frequency drives and thus ruin the centrifuges attached to them.
- marcinzm 6y agoAh. I mean, sure, but it took a state level actor to make use of that against a state level target. So I stand by my statement that for the average user of a coffee pot the risk is negligible.
