People don't bother to update even their home router's firmware. IoT ecosystem will be one of the biggest holes in cyber security and a heaven for black-hat hackers.
- digi_owl 9y ago1. shit brick easily. 2. vendors mix feature changes/removals and security updates. 3, better the devil you know...
- Freak_NL 9y agoEconomically vendors have little to no incentive to fix this mess either, so it will haunt us for some time to come. Introducing a slew of devices that all need security updates into each household that falls for them doesn't seem all that clever. A light bulb that can change its brightness and colour shouldn't be smart; it should be dumb as a brick and expose only those parameters that can sensibly and safely be set by a user — kind of like a normal light bulb does.
- kbart 9y ago"IoT ecosystem will be one of the biggest holes in cyber security and a heaven for black-hat hackers." I think you meant "is" here.
- erdemozg 9y agoHaha, I was in dilemma. But since most people are not aware of it, I chose the future tense. But you are right, it is already.
