RE: The fun with IoT devices never stops! The larger the attack surface...
Hello dear @doifeellucky.
Friend I've run out of words!
Did that really happen with devices purchased from China?
This could be a negative vote for the adoption of IoT.
No one will be willing to sacrifice their privacy that way. I think that identity theft in phones, laptops and tablets is enough. Now they want to enter in such a rude way the physical spaces of our homes?
This is unacceptable.
Hello Juan,
there are loads of stories regarding weakness riddled IoT devices.
The most drastic issues is the fact that once they are breached you'll mostly find little linux distributions as os'es on them. From there it's sometimes quite easy to use them as "bridgeheads" to further investigate the environment of the victims to cause further damage.
The problem is that many of the "for cheap" available stuff might be working in some way like the originals they were "knocked off of" minus adequate security measures.
Especially with surveillance tech from China there are many out there that again and again made headlines because you can take control of these on a script kiddie level even.
Cheers!
Lucky
I would like to ask you a favor. You may have a couple of minutes to check a link that I will leave you.
We have been working on the launch of our own curation trail for our project @project.hope of which I am co-founder and is currently in ... let's call it: experimental phase.

Please let me know what you think and leave a comment whenever you can. Your opinion is a gold mine for me.
Thanks in advance
Did it! Adjusted my settings in steemauto to the project hope curation trail. Cheers!
You never cease to surprise me with how collaborative you are.
Thank you very much for your great support. You are definitely a main member of project hope.
Ty!
You want to tell me that it is not the manufacturers who have these spy features in the devices?
Are software failures which are exploited by a kind of jackers?
This is interesting.
Government control of the Chinese government over its citizens goes beyond what we can imagine. I am able to believe that these "failures" are really new ways to domination.
Forgot to link you this very interesting article on some of the "2019 IoT disasters"...

Thanks for that link.
