Lots Of Things, sounds about right.

What’s Samsung is facing in general in IoT space is more like…
Lack of Trust

I’m referring to recent SAMSUNG TV surveillance complains

and some bad PR on IoT security front

Oops: Samsung Fridge vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle attack / Password Theft

Hopefully Samsung will take advantage of the security smarts at SmartThings and avoid this sort of snafu in future connected appliances…

Ouch I just heard about that. I won’t say what I said the last time I spoke about security, I got ruffled then too.

As I think I saw you (or someone) state in the thread regarding a Samsung fridge?

“You’ve got bigger problems” if someone is able to get past your router.

It seems in all of this hacking automobiles and appliances the one thing that seems to be overlooked is WiFi security.

…of course the occupants inside the castle are vulnerable to attack if the moat and castle wall are compromised

I’m not complaining, I’m just stating my observations. I agree with your statement on this
