You think botnets don't already include all these smart devices? We recently bought a new fridge and freezer with that functionality but there's no way they are getting hooked up to any network.



You can apparently request the source code for many of those devices. Ive done it for my Samsung fridge and got a reasonable response.

I scanned the code and don't find any egregious problems like hard coded passwords but I just assume the codebase is a complete shit show with flaws.

I will not connect those devices to my wifi.
