Hey so I thought about this nightmare some more and it's kinda scary the sheer amount of abandoned IoT stuff that could leak forever.

...wait. Is your device affected if it supports Wi-Fi or if it is actually connected to the internet via Wi-Fi? Also, what's the range?

If anyone hacks my WiFi, I can walk over to them in a minute or less and have a warm, close, personal conversation. #KrackAttack
The installation technician for my garage door opener couldn’t understand why I was so against the WiFi connected model. #IOT

It does though, even if they are using TLS they are now leaking access to your network to affect your other patched devices

"Literally?" Give me a metaphorical fucking break.
Too busy with things like reality-tv, sports news & other similar rubbish.

Good afternoon. Hey! It’s not so bad after all. Not good, but not the end of the world either. Deep breaths.

If your app relies on the first network hop being more secure than the rest, you blew it.
