Security of the wifi device and it's connection to the internet.. not enough people are talking about this.
So many "internet enabled" devices out there are poor on security. I would love to hear from the people behind Nest on how they plan to take on internet attacks.

- blibble 13y agothe fact that's even possible worries me. 1 billion transistors and 40 million lines of code in my smoke detector. hurrah, the smoke detector crashed again!
- codereflection 13y agoThanks for that link. I suppose it's good that some effort from experienced people has been made, but this really concerns me that the security stiffening was a "side project" of some Google folks. "Board member and investor Bill Maris of Google Ventures says that some of Google’s security team helped stiffen Nest’s safeguards as a side project."
