@cascheranno@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange Because these are insecure devices on wheels connected to large batteries and lethal cutting tools and cameras for remote piloting them. Safety of people (including children) who may be around them comes before any property rights of the people who bought them.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange nope. Yes, it’s an insecure fucking mess. But frankly, everything’s an insecure fucking mess. We compensate, not burn it all down. Yes, this needs remedy. Yes, the attention this is getting is a good way to force remedy. No, it’s neither legal nor ethical to brick other people’s stuff regardless of how fucked the vendor’s security is. And a mower isn’t even on my top-ten ‘lethally-insecure’ categories. Fire up some shodan queries and realize just how often crit infrastructure, medical devices, transport / traffic / port authority, military, or financial OT/IoT devices are weakly- or not-secured.
