AN ELABORATE HACK SHOWS HOW MUCH DAMAGE IOT BUGS CAN DO
Vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices are well-documented by this point, but the most common exploitations generally involve conscripting thousands of vulnerable IoT devices into botnets, or getting onto a network through a weak IoT device for ransomware attacks. These aren’t using data-stealing missions.

Surprise! Wireless brain implants are not secure, and can be hijacked to kill you or steal thoughts
And because this particularly bit of kit resides amid sensitive gray matter – to treat conditions like Parkinson’s – the potential consequences of successful remote exploitation include voltage changes that could result in sensory denial, disability, and death
