A) what bad guys? Best to try to be specific when you’re threat modeling.
B) Does your home have easier ingress methods that don’t require finding the server, hacking into it, and hitting the correct button? For example, a first floor window?

- Kudos 6y agoB) being true doesn't make the cautiousness around home smart device security less important. Do you want to elaborate on where you were planning to go on this?
- zrail 6y agoI guess my point is to be realistic with your threat modeling. Sure don’t advertise the wifi password that grants access to your smart lock, but also realize that the vast majority of crime is that of opportunity. Unless you think you are being targeted by sophisticated people who want more than your cash and tv, worrying about the security of your IoT devices is probably misplaced.
- Kudos 6y agoI agree that most crime is crime of opportunity. I'd categorise automated bots sniffing for open ipcams, or other devices as that too. I consider my privacy is as valuable as my possessions :)
