IoT, and Hypponen’s law
InternetSecurity researcher and gentleman Mikko Hyppönen tweeted this in 2016:
Hypponen’s law: Whenever an appliance is described as being “smart”, it’s vulnerable.
My favourite response was from @naranek:
It’s probably time to start calling “dumb” appliances “safe” instead. Would you want a smart fridge or a safe fridge?
It also reminds me of Geroge Neville-Neil’s comment at AsiaBSDCon 2018:
The S in IoT stands for security
