Some interesting news:
EPT article
Thanks a lot for the link to that outstandingly clear and disheartening article!
I've been concerned about that kind of goings-on for decades, and as such severely limit our use of the "Internet of Things". This comes partially from my engineering career years working exclusively in the testing of integrated circuits for proper function before shipping to customers. Integrated circuits and all the supporting electronics around them can and do, fail - or otherwise not always perform as intended.
The above "natural flaws" possible in all ultra-complex electronic systems are in addition to all the possible clandestine use of electronic systems. In order for mankind to ultimately survive ... do we individually need all the computing on and off the Internet that we have and is continuing to come ... probably not.
