This could be somewhat mitigated by VPN tunneling all traffic through Amazon’s edge, not sure of their implementation here but I highly doubt that Amazon overlooked this threat model.
The exploit attack vector mentioned is already a risk to any device connected to a sensitive network. VLAN your consumer devices, conference room screens, at minimum.
- mikem170 5y agoI'm more worried about this amazon mesh network being used for access by other internet devices. For example, it's not easy to get a dumb TV. If I had one I wouldn't want it online. It appears that Amazon would sell access to the TV manufacturer so that it could spy on me via my neighbours Amazon Sidewalk device. To me this is new threat vector. I don't take kindly to corporations spying on me.

- katbyte 5y agohuh i didn't even think about that, plug an amazon device into your network and this mesh allows anyone to connect to it - exploit it and now they are on your internal "Secure" network. brilliant.
