Researchers say there are serious security problems in Samsung’s SmartThings

Security is a huge problem on this platform especially if you have locks/doors that can be easily opened. I think people are generally too trusting and will install smart apps/devices written by others without reviewing what they really expose. Not too mention that the ST hub essentially punches a hole through the firewall on your local lan so anyone with malicious intentions can pretty easily listen to all of the devices on your local network and the forward that information to an external network. Security on the Local LAN?
