- This seems a bit sensationalist.
Guy hacks smart vacuum. Smart vacuum behaves different than standard vacuum. Manufacturer kills vacuum remotely.
As the business running the servers of smart vacuums, if I saw an atypical device reporting in, without context, I too would kill that device.
Because they're vacuums. Why would they not be homogenous?
- The business has no right to remotely kill a device purchased by an end user.
