[QUOTE="Oblivion99, post: 1085696, member: 105415"] Maybe I have not been good at explaining the scenario. The scenario: There is no other router, network, wifi etc. The Chromecast creates a wireless network. There is no password on the Chromecasts wireless network - anyone within range can access it. Hacker connects to Chromecats wireless network > Hacker infects the Chromecast with malware > device X connects to Chromecast wireless network > the malware on the Chromecast infects device X Is this possible? Or is this purely theoretical / NSA-level stuff? Thank you [/QUOTE]
