[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 833684"] Yeah no conspiracy theory on that. When I was at Fortinet we pulled in the top 50 selling pieces of IoT from Amazon for testing. The vast majority were backdoored. The rest were poorly implemented with a lot of exploit threat surface. The purpose of the lab work was to see how this could impact IPS signature requirements as IoT spread to enterprise environments. (Such as Bill wanting fancy color changing lights in his office, etc.) It was all grim news in the end. If I was a consumer I wouldn't buy any IoT at all unless I understood how to SSH into it and disable this or that, or to restrict it's functionality with networking equipment.. Not a chance any of it would hit my network. [/QUOTE]
