If you want to do some fun hacking project, Temu and similar websites are a trove of insecure cheap IoT devices made with almost 0 security consideration. Security camera, car chargers, sport tracking devices, etc.
If you are a bad actor, that is also probably a very easy way to find new ways to enroll devices in your botnet.

- maeln 5mo agoBy the virtue of being cheap garbage, they actually sell very well and can be found quite a lot in the wild. So they are not that niche.
- porshia 5mo agoSo many of them are hosting some sort of server they /have/ to talk back to. Wouldn't be so bad if they just acted entirely self contained... So the question is, what is the vendors benefit from running these servers.
