       We've come to an icky time in security when the concern about using outdated, unpatched software starts to become overshadowed by the fear of downloading some backdoored update.

       @dalias @briankrebs This is why the Internet of Things should not exist. Devices not used directly for communication should be isolated from the network and once running a known usable snapshot of their firmware should never be updated again. This includes printers, cameras, cars, basically all consumer hardware except desktop and laptop computers, phones, and internet radio and TV boxes. The latter two also need to have the ability to run in radio mode only with no outbound anything but light and sound, and no updates unless new capabiity is needed.Devices that are networked and must be kept up with security updates should only run open source operating systems that have the potential for audit by mutually opposing parties.

       @LukefromDC @dalias @briankrebs IoT was meant to be embedded *servers* that devices under your control can reach out to at a time of your choosing, to serve your goals.What we got instead is a centralized capitalistic perversion of it.
