News Claimer: It turns out smart houses aren’t that smart after all. Bryan Hatley, a tech enthusiast, has managed to “hack” into a smart house in Oregon, and take full control of very sensitive devices inside and around the house.
Taking control of the sensitive devices means he could turn on and off the lights in any room, as well as TV, heating system, open and close garage doors, and control many other parts of the house that could have had potentially dangerous consequences.
A cyberattack kept the whole country's government offline for a month.
Before Apple patch, Wi-Fi packets could steal photos. No interaction needed. Over the air.
About 2,000 law enforcement agencies from all 50 states use mobile device forensic tools to extract every piece of data from smartphones.
Such an irresponsibile behaviour from these companies.
If a regular Joe could manage to do this, imagine what would happen if a real hacker with bad intentions wanted to "access" someone's home.
Whatever people use that is connected to internet, it can be hacked. End of story.
For one thing...
If you set up your house (lights, water, gas, garage, doors, locks and appliances) to run off of internet controlled infrastructures - your'e an idiot, in the first place. Seriously, your'e just asking to be hacked.
I wont even own a car with OnStar support. If OnStar can remotely unlock your car doors...what makes you think other people cant? Cars that run off of remote killswitches, can be shut down and disabled remotely, with the click of a mouse. No thank you.
The whole idea SOUNDS COOL, but when you look at it objectively and actually think about it...your'e just making yourself vulnerable.
Watch Dogs.
LoL that's what happens when everything is running from the Internet, instant hack
