@mattly@hachyderm.io "I had to enable parental controls to keep my dishwasher from attacking other computers" is one of those sentences which would leave me greatly amused in a PKD novel but I'm less fond of IRL
but it does make me pretty curious about what sites it's trying to hit; like I wonder if you could identify the command-and-control node it's getting instructions from, or a sample of the sites it's attacking assuming it's not encrypting the SNI in its outbound requests

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @mattly@hachyderm.io This sort of s#!t is why I don't allow appliances to access my network. Won't buy anything that has to phone home to work. I don't think I'm missing out on anything, either.

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @mattly@hachyderm.io sounds very much like the precursor to the insurance ad running that warns of all these gadgets joining together against their owners.

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @mattly@hachyderm.io could also be that it went to download an update, and then the update failed, so it did it again. and that failed, ad infinitum.
