He didn’t stumble on a bug, he landed in their backend home surveillance architecture. This wasn’t a mistake, this was a whistle being blown and the article missed it.
This is why mine has no camera
Go ham. Most data you’re getting out of me is my floor layout lmao.
WRONG.
That thing is in your wifi, it probabl has bluetooth too.
It knows the pattern of other devices in your wifi comming and going. It could even grab metadate of every traffic in your wifi. It probably has a temperature sensor (knows when you open your windows). It probably has a movement sensor hence beeing able to grab vibration data…like do you walk around, when, how much, more than one person.
It could also act as part of a DDoS attack or be used as a domestic ip proxy.

Nah it’s on a separate vlan

To what end?

Maybe. Being a major brand I’m sure some network nerds would notice these kind of packets at some point. But that’s probably the most realistic.
Just go to the house of any cyber security worker, or any sysadmin / IT worker and tell me how many internet connected smart devices you find.
The “S” in IoT stands for Security.
You either don’t find any or you find them connected to a vlan without internet access
internet connected
The key part.
My robovac is great, but it doesnt see the internet. And its running valetudo, of course.
I have a few! They’re, just not, you know, allowed to connect to the internet…
My vacuum is unfortunately connected to the internet. It doesn’t seem to have a clue what my house looks like though. It keeps fucking up the map, rotating it and then tries to drive through walls to get to non excisting rooms.
Don’t you just hate it when that happens to you?
Luckily, it didn’t happen to me.
Well that really sucks!!
“Oh no! Not again!”
