Robot vacuums in multiple US cities were hacked in the space of a few days, with the attacker physically controlling them and yelling obscenities through their onboard speakers.

    I doubt any of the victims who were black would be too pleased. I think this is the makings of a good class action. The only way these companies are going to start securing the Internet of shit is if it becomes too expensive not to.

      I wouldn’t expect any of the victims to be happy about it, but this definitely could have been worse.

      And hopefully these things will become known as the vaccum that shouts slurs at you.
