#I was just telling my parents this story! #(we were talking about IoT security) #I’m not convinced that this particular incident actually happened #but the fact that it’s even remotely plausible is a bad sign #(I saw a non-password-locked refrigerator network while out Wi-Fi mapping recently) #(it was too faint to try though) #(and a lot of ””open”” networks just ask you for a password anyway the first try you try to load something with them) #(especially residential ones) #(so it might actually have been locked for all I know)
