      Yeah, don’t go looking too hard whenever you’re in a hospital or anything. The number of vulnerabilities I can spot with as little infosec knowledge I have is deeply concerning

    Shit like this is why I got a dumb speaker. It just plays audio, it doesn’t have a battery (meaning that unplugged = zero power), it doesn’t have wifi, it doesn’t have an assistant, it just plays the music I ask it to play via Bluetooth.

        People that don’t care about their privacy is exactly what makes it so hard to just exist privately. I shouldn’t have to give up my rights because other people don’t care about them

        Professionals should care about their client’s privacy though. That shouldn’t be a debate.

    IoT and smart device security only means your data is protected from unauthorized access. It’s up to the manufacturer, not the user to decide who can get in.
