Now Philips can choose between:
1- remove that NFC nonsense.
2- leave everything as it is and pretend nothing happened (very likely if the news about the hack don't spread too much).
3- waste time and resources to implement proper encryption plus protection, then enforce it in new Sonicare products, possibly giving also them in exchange of old ones for being "new and upgraded for customer's convenience".
Not holding my breath waiting for 1 to happen.
- ac29 3y ago> 1- remove that NFC nonsense. That "NFC nonsense" is an optional brushhead replacement reminder feature. It never stops you from continuing to use a brushhead, and if you hate the reminder, you can turn the feature off completely. You can also buy brushheads that dont have NFC chips in them - its not required.
- sentientslug 3y agoI haven't found a way to turn it off completely. I did the thing where you hold the power button but I still get a yellow warning light that the head should be replaced every time I use it.
