minus-squareFermiverse@gehirneimer.delinkfedilinkarrow-up41·1 day agoThis is really bad as most cheap IOT devices using this chip will not receive an update all. Would like to see a smartphone app testing this out via bluetooth so we could do some damage control at least and take them offline.

minus-squareSanctimoniousApe@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoAm I misunderstanding the article? It seemed to imply remote intrusion required either Bluetooth proximity, or physical USB access.
minus-squareFermiverse@gehirneimer.delinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 day agoCorrect, but as bluetooth is possible over a certain range, “drive by attacks” might be possible.
