[QUOTE="Oblivion99, post: 1084715, member: 105415"] Dear all I once noticed, that my Chromecast created its own wireless-network. The Chromecast wireless-network had minimal security, and it did not require a password to connect to - so everyone could connect to it. 1. Could a hacker connect to the Chromecasts network, and then upload malware to the Chromecast. So that when another device connected to the Chromecasts wireless-network, the device would get infected by the malware on the Chromecast? 2. What changes would it require to the Chromecast device? Would it require a change in the hardware? Would it require a change in the firmware? 3. Does it require NSA-level skills? Can only be done by Google? Every tech savy hacker could do it? 4. Can devices connected to the Chromecasts wireless-network interact with eachother, like on a normal wireless-network? Thank you [/QUOTE]
