Has your LED light bulb been hacked?

At $100 each I would hope not many brought these things.
If wifi bulbs don’t fall out as a fad then prices should drop dramatically. Its not like we have $3 wifi modules available or anything. So I can completely understand charging $100. :expressionless:

Another question to ask: Is your new TV spying on you?

Also washing machines, fridges, stoves, microwave, coffee pots, etc?

There is even one smart TV with a built in microphone that can be turned on remotely and sent to the net…

Since people have nothing to hide they should welcome hacking :smiley:

Yeah, I understand that they are called “Canadians”… :wink:

Apparently, we are told if we don’t accept police eavesdropping and warrantless wiretapping then we support child pornography, suffice it to say that bill was defeated pretty quickly.
However those same people vote for political parties who sneak the laws onto the books quietly.

What! You have laws? We have something called a “constitution”. Our politicians/gooberment use it to wipe their huge, meaty asses with.

I think your government also uses corporate donations to do the same, apparently the ROI is excellent

What? You mean you’re not absolutely thrilled to forfeit all of your rights in order to be more “safe”??? You sound like such backwards hillbillies

How can hillbillies afford wifi connected lightbulbs and smart TVs :bigsmile:

Sell photos of your scantily clad young’uns slathered in maple syrup? I’m sure there’s a web site dedicated to that somewhere…

What was your ROI on this?

Enough to buy two quarts of primo maple syrup. Now, if I could just score some pancake batter…

Theres a simple answer to your question. A hard working wife.

Bulbs need a firewall and antivirus.

LOL! I’ll stick with my $5, 800 lumen bulbs and avoid all the over priced connected junk

At some point companies need to start being fined for horrid lack of security.
The bulb “hack”:
You have a nice secure wifi network, strong wpa password, wps disabled.
You have to give your new $100 wifi lightbulb the password to get it onto your network. No problem normally.
Bring in a 2nd $100 bulb, it calls out “Hi, I’m a new light bulb! Can we be friends?”.
Your 1st $100 bulb calls out “Hey! Of course I’d love to be friends!” “By the way the network password is WeAreMorons, please only give it out to other friendly bulbs”.

Your joking right, modern economic principles with widespread support say companies are not responsible for their actions, the public is

rant on white collar crime

Im in your base stealin all your lumenz
